Mr Hirst told my son that he recontextualizes art from other artists and regards himself as an art philosopher rather than a maker. Hirst said he taps into existential themes by framing his works as explorations of mortality, decay, and value. He was hanging around one of his own exhibitions, asking people passing by what they thought of his artwork. He scuttled off quickly when he saw a very large man in an expensive suit enter. A woman standing nearby nodded and whispered, "That's his owner.".
I asked a child which out of many artists in a prestigious gallery which art they like the best and luckily they picked mine. My abstracts which he perceived a certain essence of like and beauty out of his uncluttered mind . This was the best compliment I have ever received.
Dries, I really enjoy your videos. What I would love and I’ve seen others do is an actually real breakdown of your art income. What comes form RUclips? What comes from your course/s? Coaching? And what comes from art sales, how much from originals, prints etc? The make once sell many times thing you have mentioned many times. I seriously can’t just trust someone online who doesn’t bring receipts. Many thanks for the entertainment.
"Painting with lightning like a god" sounds like a desirable and useful super power. I'll need to summon this lightning to keep me safe in this world 🤲 17:55
I like when you take Damien Hirst as an example because in his case it is more a question of business than an art style by itself. Even if I am not agree with Damien Hirst I must admit his approach is brilliant. You are totally right art is a market as a self taught artist coming from communication and business my girlfriend who learned art begins to understand this approach who was never teach in her expensive art school.
Thank you for this! I’d really like to know it all before I started in „art” industry. Instead of hours spent on drawing and improving my skills I would spend more time on sm or smth. Back in the day my marketing strategy was just meeting people, making good connections and good work. It worked amazing.
This is super helpfull, thank you. It makes sense traditional artist struggle with selling, cose they are bad communicators..... talking about me btw, not everybody is, you sound very confident
old video with a completely new title yes. I'm testing something out and need to compare the same thing in two different time frames... Impressive that you noticed.
dig your videos dude, but after watching this, safe to say this is high-altitude theory/talking points versus a 'full blueprint' .. hoping 2025 comes with more relevancy when it comes to content. your audience will respect you more, with more accurate thumbnails/descriptions. otherwise you're choosing to waste your followers' time for anyone who doesn't have the 23 mintutes to blow // TLDR: online presence & social media marketing > physical galleries .. unless galleries are making you money, then do galleries 🤷♂ otherwise, link in bio to pay $400 for a PDF 🤦♂
You have these videos where you say you suggested to some artists that they increase there prices by five times. Looks like to me you don't practice what you preach. You are suggesting that if the prices are higher than people will think the art is better and more valuable but that's not what you're doing with your own paintings. Your prices looked pretty low to me. I thought the art was pretty cool but the prices were less than I would charge. Perhaps you don't value your art enough.

an art philosopher interesting... Yeah I can see that.

You're a great story teller yourself of course. Thank you.

Expensive art schools are a joke. I'm happy to hear that she is learning

Very true. But very sad.
I believe this is an old video with a new year .

You'll most certainly find old galleries I use to work with 10+ years ago where my price points where lower if that's what you are talking about...
@driesketels I'm talking about artwork that you have for sale online right now.
from strength to a disappointment
We're listening... could you elaborate
@driesketels click bait is a bad look for artist, imo
