Are you just being nice when you tell a friend that his or her artwork looks good? And are your friends just humoring you when they tell you that your work is cool?
It’s all about psychology. Take it from me, a failed artist whose friends used to pick me up constantly after I produced yet another self-portrait that showed incredible resemblance to a sun-dried tomato, it’s all in the initial reaction and the way it’s said.
I used to struggle with paints for hours on end as I tried to etch my massive imagination onto a 20″ x 32″ blank canvas, and then I’d end up three hours later with a regurgitated mess heap on paper. It was funny. How do I come to that conclusion? Because my friends used to walk into my dorm room and fall over themselves laughing and on the brink of tears! Please don’t get me wrong, I have some brilliant friends, but I’m just not that good at it. I’ve never aspired to be the next art contemporary genius. I’ve since had to channel my talents in other directions. But remember that it’s a telltale sign that a work of art is not up-to-par if it gets laughed at at first sight!
Just as obvious as laughing, a long pause can say it all. If it takes more than two seconds between seeing an art contemporary piece and saying, “Yeah, that’s really cool,” then the artwork in question probably stinks. Whether it’s yours or your friends, somebody is going to have to learn to lie a bit better because feelings are going to get shot down!
Art contemporary is for everybody, and any form of self-expression in the current day is art contemporary, but some things just don’t make the grade on levels set out by anybody. Don’t worry, my art was like that! It’s important to remember that an artist shouldn’t set out to please anybody with his or her work if it is true art contemporary, because it is all about what is inside the artist and nobody else knows that.
