Julien, your videos are filling in every way because of your tone, casual style, practical and insightful knowledge as gallerist and as artist. You should know I am utilizing the artist's vision statement tool for my fiction writing. hartelijke dank, Karin (Canada)
Dear Karin, thank you so much for your kind words and I thrilled to hear the statement tool works for your fiction writing as well. My warmest wishes from Belgium!
Excellent thorough summation of art style exploration and discovery. I'm sharing this with the people in my life who don't consider these points, in order that they may finally understand, appreciate, and then get excited about my processes and the resulting artworks. Thank you for this and for all your videos.
Absolutely, the connections and development in the oeuvre can sometimes intrigue me so much more than just watching an individual piece. Only then, you can start to get to the artist in my opinion. Wishing you all the best and thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for your videos! I always listen to them with great interest and sometimes several times. They are very useful and motivating to find and develop myself in the world of art. I wish you a lot of success on your way and all the best for the new year 2025!
A few months ago I was not sure about my art-style. I am speaking of it further than how it looks. Nowadays, I know mine. I speak of higher values that I think are important to speak of and I have my own personal technique when it comes to my paintings. I work mostly in portraitute but these guidelines allow me to diversify whenever I will feel it reasonable.
Thank you Julien to you and all the CAI team for all you. Always considered, informative and very useful. Your (collective) insight and observations are invaluable. Happy holidays all round..

In college I tried to get away with having no style and to use a variety of materials. For my senior show I was able to pull this off by discussing the multi dimensional nature of the human psyche. The show was indeed intriguing and there were some elements that brought in a tethering effect. But now I see that I did myself a disservice. While I am very good at working in many different styles, I am not recognizable. This affects how seriously I am taken by the public also it limits community as well. I am currently working on developing my style, however I worry that I will commit to the wrong thing, I also worry that my art will be boring or that I will get tired of painting a certain way or that I will be unable to express myself differently when the urge arises because I’ve committed to a style.
Dear Julién .. what a good season to propose a personal subject like this. Thank you. Perrier…❄️ 🐶❤️☀️😴😴😴 So packed with attentive information… this prompt to push a series to at least 12 pieces I appreciate. Working in design and illustration previously… I have witnessed repetition for clients and the potential artistic and personal development and growth. It also lays a foundation where the artist has their personal life… and a cache of more works… that might produce further curiosity in collectors or buyers. I guess that relates to the depth you mention. My current series is under a bigger theme. I will give it a go to take it to 12 pieces from its current 7. Most brilliant solstice for you and all, and most joyous holiday too. In gratitude. Sincerely, Janet
Dear Janet, thank you for attentive comment! Wishing you the very best with your ongoing series, enjoy it above anything else. Happy holidays and my warmest wishes to you.
I am guilty of losing interest in a subject or approach and starting new. In another video you mentioned that one should have 10-15 works in a series. If you are trying to maintain consistency between series then what techniques can you use to create difference but still maintaining a connection. You touch on it in this video, but could you expand upon it. Also, can you do something on the role of the studio and studio visits by curators, gallery owners, and collectors. I feel my studio space is not that impressive and keeping work on site is becoming difficult with the amount of work increasing. Cheers.
Don't feel guilty for changing subjects, this is perfectly fine and the established artists I mention throughout this video do the same. By maintaining at least 1, and preferably more, you can maintain consistency from series to series. It can be a dominant color, the brushwork, the technique, the frame, et cetera. For instance, if we have a look at the colored cones of Borremans, this was entirely new after predominantly painting people. However, the background and setting in which the cones were painted, and the technique of course, remained the same, making it instantly clear that the works are by his hand. Great topic suggestion, thank you very much!
Makes sense to me that you have to have a body of work that has a noticible style, that answers the question: What is this artist all about? Yet, if an artist gets locked in on a set style such that there's no room to do new things, then it tells everyone that "This is all I care about!" Not a good look, from an invester or collector point of view. But, it's not the end of the world.
explain how Mark Majorie is successful and he has one motif that he does over and over again same with Renato Muchilo he’s a cloud landscape guy from Canada
With all due respect, the success is still rather modest/limited. This approach will do well to have your own niche for individual collectors looking for something beautiful and decorative for their homes, which is also a very honest living. However, they will not be picked up by the art world, have established gallery representation or institutional shows, enter the canon of contemporary art, or breach the ceiling in terms of price that goes beyond the decorative value. Once more, I say this with the greatest respect for their work and career path, but you cannot compare their success with the artists mentioned in this video. Have a great day!
You know ? I don’t care about style. I care about the individual work. I paint portraits. Mostly I abstract the background but sometimes I need the background to put the portrait in context, tell a story. It depends on what the picture needs. I like to paint loose , that doesn’t always work for the picture or the client. Sickert seemed to do tighter works for money and other works are more impressionistic. If it’s good enough for Sickert it’s good enough for me.
I don't understand why some artists worry about style. It's like they want to put some kind of identifier in their pencil marks and brushstrokes. Just draw and paint and, however it turns out, that's your style.
Style can indeed emerge naturally. However, the question is also if that style is unique, recognizable, consistent, or contains any form of expertise in what you are doing. These elements are of course only of importance if it is your goal to make it in the art world-if not, just drawing, painting, and enjoying yourself is my number one recommendation as well😁 Happy holidays!
I dunno, If you do a thing because the work needs it and it becomes your style that’s one of thing. If you add little squares of colour that are not there just to be modern or edgy just to identify yourself I don’t think it serves the painting. Lots of people use Fauvist colours or abstractions at the edges to the point where they are not expressing a personal style so much as being part of a movement. That ain’t unique.
During Vincent Van Gogh's life he struggled financially, socially and mentally removing body parts (ie. ear). Only suicide or death mada his work a scarcity, THEN financial success and beloved fame to the public. Did you forget this tip to be successful?
Van Gogh is an exception, not the rule. Most famous artists are famous and successful during their lifetime. You'll be able to recite 10 artists with posthumous fame, the thousands of other established artists will prove otherwise. We covered this topic in a video on 5 mistakes artists make published approximately 6 weeks ago, feel free to give it a watch!
например интересно как фразы в шрифте " Chromosom", выгнутые или вогнутые ползунком текстового редактора, превращаются во что то наподобие цветов или сосудов и так далее... Ведь "Сначала Было Слово..." ( это из Евангелия фраза).
the big question is when is the art world going to move on from 1930s abstract art that was the last time art had a revolution art has not moved on for decades the same with art schools still teaching 1930s art there is no modern art it has not been born yet in the 21st century
A lot has happened since the 1930s; in abstract art with Pollock, Rothko, the irregularly shaped canvas by Noland and Kelly, and beyond, we had the emergence of avant-garde movements in the 60s and 70s, Minimal Art, Conceptual Art, Performance Art, Land Art, Video Art, Digital Art, and so on. So I respectfully disagree with your statement. Thank you for tuning in!
Strange, I have no clue if there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening. Perhaps in the bottom right corner of the video player there is an option to turn it off?
sounds fine for me. oddly a booktuber I follow had trouble with his video being automatically dubbed in another language. RUclips doing something strange.@@contemporaryartissue
@@booksnphilosophy Thank you for the information; I appreciate it. I checked my video settings and general settings, and I can't find anything related to dubbed audio. Hopefully, they will sort this out as quickly as possible. I am fine with AI subtitles, but at least let us hear the original audio the creators have put many hours in. Thank you again!

What if an artist can do all those know how to properly exercise these disciplines into curated collections
With the series exercise I discuss in this video, your body of work will naturally consists various collections/series. Wishing you the very best!
