On. Hunting. Thrills.
For me, there are possibly 2 or 3 strokes between dynamism and disaster. And I like to cartwheel down that line.
Often I find myself starting to paint safe, in colour palettes and subject matter that is easily digestible, trying to replicate the vibe of my more popular work because essentially that it the easiest work to sell. It’s a reality of being a working artist. But I get bored and numb in the process.
I couldn’t tell you what is happening here. But I’ve been trying to figure it out. I love that my brain is still trying to make sense of it weeks after it was created…
My favourite thing to decode in art is: why is it so wrong but so right?
In art you don’t have to love it or even like it, but why are you still looking?
