Documenting the creation of my latest piece "The V.A. Paradox", and some thoughts about the art world, exhibiting, and our relationship with the audience. Music by @RossBugden
This is such a beautiful little video. Why hasn't it got more views? It's just the right message I needed to get on this cold Friday evening. Thank you!
I have realized that this is because cutting edge visual art and fine arts exist to find new mediums, symbols, materials and ways of expression. It’s an exploration of how humans can portray their thought, feels and experiences. It’s the creation of new conventions and finding alleyways we never before knew existed. Commercial art on the other hand, illustration, stage design, tv shows, movies, etc use this collection of conventions, hopefully build on it, and use that for expression. Tl;dr fine arts is for exploring expression, commercial art uses that knowledge to convey stories and ideas. Of course these categories are imperfect and there is overlap between both.
It's something I've been struggling with in my many attempts at making different forms of art. Lately I've been realizing that there doesn't have to be a literal message or meaning. If something calls to you and you just really want to make it, that feeling in itself becomes the message. It doesn't need to be put into words. It can be if that's what feels right but if you can't find the right words, don't force yourself. Youll just be destroying that delicate and vulnerable feeling and end up not liking it anymore. That's how it works for me anyway.
I have not seen a video done this well in a long time.. checked a few of your videos and I have to say I love your ability to put visuals and thoughts together. because I had similar thoughts myself but you absolutely nailed it visually as well!

That's an interesting distinction. I'll have to think about that more
