- Can we divorce the act of painting from the object of painting? Can we imagine a world where the idea of painting does not necessarily need to materialize in pigments and mediums and substrates? Perhaps that is what is required of us in the future. Some may mutter, "That is preposterous!" But bare with me for a moment. What if we sacrifice the physical object of painting, for the sake of universally socializing the idea of painting. Think of schools from all over this wonderful planet 50, 60 years from now, where children are able to travel to any museum, any gallery in the world and get as close to any single work of art without setting off alarms or guards reprimanding them. Imagine the separation between the work of art and the new generation of observants virtually disappearing. Imagine the cult of the object of art coming to an end. Oh what a world!!!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful work!
Super job in painting and monolog. Well done.
when i realized art is in the interaction not the piece itself that changed everything for me. can’t wait to see what ideas people come up with. lovely painting as always 💪
Lean in too close...and have a guard telling us to step back? LOL. Trying to look at the brushwork in a John Perceval painting at the NGV (Melbourne's major art museum) I had a guard tell me to leave the gallery! One can't see those paintings from three feet away. Just. Can't. After travelling 3,500km to see them... That was a decade ago. It still stings.
You ever turn those virtual game skins into physical collectible things via painting?
I'm a few years younger than you and grew up with digital painting well-established - I learned a lot of my fundamentals while painting digitally and to me it's "just another medium" (and computers are also material) with a fixed place in the creative industries. I also feel attached to video game collectibles, I'm interested in science and am not opposed to technological progress. However I still felt drawn to creating traditional paintings again later in life because I like how "primitive" it is. Maybe it's romantic but it's like I can express ideas clearer and in the end there's a "definitive" version of my painting with a fixed size and exact color that doesn't get changed by monitor settings and jpeg compression. (I know people still see differently but it's still goot to remove that layer of distortion). Basically I think that "playing with mud" won't go away for us humans. There's also something nice about being able to relax about the technological gadgets. Something that I underestimated a bit is how short-lived digital storage mediums are still. I lost a lot of my original art files, hard drives and CDs are quite delicate compared to a piece of wood. I'd advice digital artists (if they create static paintings) to get some good archival prints of the pieces they're attached to, haha.
Do you usually work from a photograph?
You know this developing concept of "accesability" is really confusing. I've been a self thought artist before going to art school and I was more passionate and less lazy about art before going to art school. I think the accesibility creates the chance for everyone to be able to make art in their own way. I would like to live in a world where passion and love is the centerpiece of art rather than skill and originality.
So I want art to be less serious, more common, less elitist but with the birth of Ai art, that growing accesablility took a really dramatic turn and now I don't know what I should think about it. If the feelings of enjoyment, the ability to convey things or the fact that you put effort into a work is all art needs to be apprechiated, anyone putting effort into a program, problem solving and working to express their enjoyment should be apprechiated. I mean, I did apprechiate and enjoy the rock paper cross blades short film as a work of film. But that wasn't the direction I wanted the accesability to go. I don't want a world where art is about problem solving trough a software. No matter what, development in our society works in a destructive way, destroying what has passed.
Technology is accesable in its own way, kind of because art has been so exclusive. Idk. It's just a shitty dilemma. Does thinking about it even matter? If it destroys something I love, it will.
If you think technological progress will make art better, you are thinking wrong. What is a Michelangelo seen through vr-glases? Nothing.
Wow I did not come here thinking I'd be convinced . But well, I guess I am. Also, The painting is beautiful.
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life in Prado, virtually.Sounds marvellous! Thank you for this idea, it's a pleasure to think about it.
So so so good , congratulations
Fantastic! thank you.

Which surface do you use sir??
Currently, unprimed Moleskin Sketchbook paper
@@OurPaintedLives thankyou for the reply sir.
I forgot the website, but there is one where you could scroll into masterworks, down the the cracks. It is pretty cool.
I stopped painting, since a few months. I also used it figure stuff out, but i stopped asking questions, so i have no need to paint. Maybe it will come back, but i'm not sweating it. For the first time in my life, i feel really free.
I think a painting moves us (or should) past the object and deeper into the object. Through painting it looses the name we gave it and we can rediscover it. At the same time, the working of the paint itself is another marvel. So you have the subject and the clever manipulation of material by the artist.
