Thank you for these videos. I’ve seen a few others and they are well done. I graduated with a BFA when I was 65. I experimented with many styles during my studies as was the aim before locking in to a theme and an approach. I find that as long as my style/theme is evident, I have plenty of room to experiment. I am now at a place where my work is recognized locally as a ‘Kumi’ . I am presently 72 so have no visions of grandeur but still strive to be the best I can be, sell my work locally and internationally painting what I love.

This is simply a marketing technique. I used to run an advertising agency so I learnt about many ways marketing works. This is a commercial practice getting your art sold. You say be yourself but make sure you force yourself into the market and do what sells. Don't have a versatile style? What if I can do anything and do a diverse range of things genres and styles. You will go to an artist who can't even draw and buy something just because you recognise it. The market is too fast and fickle to actually think about the work. Limit yourself or become involved in a paticular style and develop yourself within that style is more important than just picking something people like. What are we slaves to the market?

"Be yourself, and do it radically." That's not advising to do what sells. It's advising to follow your natural impulses as an artist but perfect them in a radical manner so you can stand out. When it comes to not having a versatile style, versatility is always a plus as an artist. However, the overall story must be coherent. Think of Tracey Emin who goes on from showcasing an unmade bed as a readymade installation to traditional expressionist painting and drawing, yet remaining true and recognizable concerning her vision, methodology, and approach. Or what about Luc Tuymans, who is able to go on from painting Mickey Mouse to a gas-chamber of the Second World War, but remains recognizable due to his characteristic nervous brushwork, muted palette, and ambiguous undercurrent.
@Lee_Aeon

First, you have to create VALUE. Have your own style? I don't agree you should have just one style, and be defined by it. Many renound artist had more than one styles of works, one dominated and was more successful and they focused on that, ok, but it was not their mission, it was just a consequence of their exprimentation. So, the optimum advice is: expriment as much as you can, and make the best quality work as possible (exquisite if possible), yet remain very original and true to your story. Do not focus on recurring themes, it is doomed to fail since you compress your niche so much more.
@fremont111
@fremont111 Год назад
I agree that the optimum advice is have a recognizable style. Sure you can experiment but people should be able to tell what is your work. I see a lot of abstract painters whose work you'd never be able to differentiate - they have so many different paintings and none are cohesive.
@contemporaryartissue
@contemporaryartissue Год назад
Hi Lee, thank you for this terrific comment. I touches on many aspects we are about to discuss in our next video of this series. Indeed, value is more important than style, as is telling your story and vision, which must be relevant, original and consistent. Don't become merely a visual trademark, but without any visual recognizability, your work will fail.When it comes to compressing your niche, as with any industry, when the field is very competitive you are almost forced to niche down. However, first you must experiment as much as possible before you start to specialize in your 'trait', and find your niche in contemporary art. But, before we get to deep into a lively discussion here, feel free to stay tuned and watch our next video first. Because I strongly feel we are aiming to say the same thing in the end. Once again, thank you for the great comment and hopefully chat soon!

Lots of successful artists are far more diverse than you must realise so your not really expressing yourself clearly. I went to 40 schools so my brain is wired to explore, that's me being myself. I have a few recognisable styles by now because I did exactly the opposite of the old pick one Pick one dribble... How to be recognisable is too be yourself. That's it.

Thank you for putting this together. As an outsider, my experiences with the art community has been very troublesome. For a community of “creative” types, there is a very high bar to clear to be considered for entry. Those boundaries are very rigid but completely undefined. Lots of devaluing, back biting and posturing in my observation and direct experiences. I don’t know if it’s to keep a purity of what “art is” which has yet to be defined to me, even if it’s only in approved mediums, or if you have the right amount of education or indoctrination(same difference it seems). What I do appreciate is that, you seem to encourage people to do their thing, “all out you”. I’ve come to realize that going all out, and savoring the experiences of doing so will be all I get out of the process of creating my “downloads” and to be grateful to be able to do so. As much as recognition and money would be great, just getting to a point to be able to build is an accomplishment in its self. I’m an outsider in that I’m a self employed carpenter. I like build three dimensional wall art based on sacred geometry,chakras and mandalas. I’m building my second piece now. I have no idea how to market it. I don’t find many examples like it. Art museums couldn’t be more rude to me in the way they say” this isn’t art” but then go into a unasked for critique using wood working terms they really don’t understand 😆 or say it’s to big. I’m yet to deal with interior designers, dunno how that will go, all I do know is that any contractors that do get work from them are very guarded, understandably. All I do know is that I will choose to be content with building the things that persistently pop into my head, hope to find space for them to exist and to go out and get “no” as my daily vitamin 😁 when I ask”would you be open to hosting some of my work?” To coffee shops, yoga/meditation studios, art museums and what ever else looks like a possible opportunity.

I see a lot of arguing in the comments about marketability and staying true and blah blah blah. You can do this AND that, it's not this OR that. jfc. Do art well that pays the bills, and use some of the money gained there to do your souls' work or whatever. There's time to do it all so don't limit yourself. Try lots of things, because even if you don't stick to them at the time, they may come in useful for your body of work later on, YOU DON'T KNOW. Stop listening to people that say they do know because they don't know either!!! It's true that the art world is rife with nepotism, but it's also full of whole-hearted fans that will pay to you see you based on the merits of your works alone. If it doesn't make you feel good, do something else!

Then how do you explain the success of Gerhard Richter? His color chart paintings are completely different than his smeared Florals or his early grey photographic images or even his current fascination with large abstracts or even finally his work with glass. If you encounter any of these objects you would not necessarily know they were all done by one artist unless you were familiar with his oeuvre. Marcel Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg both operated also on a similar level.

@contemporaryartissue
@contemporaryartissue Год назад
Terrific comment, with a great question. I believe the second video of this series kind of answers this notion. You can be versatile as an artist, if your approach and vision remains consistent. With Richter, this ongoing examination of painting is the undercurrent which enables the artist to go from photorealist portraits to pure abstraction. However, he did not start to do all those things all at once. It was a gradual process, and, in fact, these developments were very much contested at the time. I believe his biography on his website describes this very well.
@khambrelgreen
@khambrelgreen Год назад
@@contemporaryartissue, oh I am quite aware of these facts because I own three separate books on Gerhard Richter. He is a huge influence on my artistic output. In fact, I am following a similar path where I explore a variety of subjects using a variety of mediums. I think resting and style is a ridiculous notion. This is one reason I fell out of my fascination with the abstract expressionists. And there are only so many Rothkos I can actually look at. I have looked at quite a few Jackson Pollock paintings as well and been bored to tears.

When I was young my Father told me because we couldn’t afford for me to go to art school, and people from a small town in Canada, never become artists. I’ve always thought after I retire and when I’m in my 90’s I’ll make it in art. Every day I research, paint, and study, please tell me, my Father is wrong. Being understood and recognized to be an incredible artist, doesn’t depend where your from or an MFA, it’s talent, love and diligence. Thank you, you have really helped, I kind of have hope.

It is a different story: they experiment and experiment, try a lot of things, different things, of course there are recurring elements and themes, but it is all very loose. Then there is a moment, after many years of experimentation, something strikes with some key viewers (important curators/dealers/etc.), and after that, unfortunately they end up making just variations of that kind of work. If you stick to one thing, or consciously think about that all the time, the work will become very repetitive and you will not develop anymore as an artist. That is not art, just factory work. Then there are even some famous exceptions like Marcel Duchamp/Gerhard Richter and even Damien Hirst (not a fan), who continue working in different styles. But it doesn't matter that much anymore when you are so famous, cause collectors buy mostly the name, not the work.

Hi Kirilla, thank you for tuning in. The more career-advice actions I advise do not exclude anything. So meaningful storytelling, understanding your craft, or simply being talented still remains as important as always!

Quick Question for you Julien- LOVE your content and advice! Do you think even Saatchi Art on line is bad? I did have one sale... I would be happy to leave if you think it is not worth it. Thank you in advance for all you do!
@contemporaryartissue
@contemporaryartissue Год назад
Dear Michelle, thank you for tuning in! Most often, the results of Saatchi are very underwhelming. 1 sale is actually more than most... At this moment there are more than a million original paintings available on Saatchi, so your work gets lost. Further, Saatchi is also a place where most artists without representation tried to sell their work, so it is kind of bad for your overall image + it is not very discrete when it comes to pricing. Hope this might help!

"Be yourself, and do it radically." That's not advising to follow the rules. It's advising to follow your natural impulses as an artist but perfect them in a radical manner so you can stand out.

Almost 2 minutes of intro and 1 minute of outro. On a 6-minute video, this isn’t efficient content-especially since this covers a single (and ultra basic) piece of advice.
@contemporaryartissue
@contemporaryartissue Год назад
It is the first video of a series, so we first need to introduce the series, and this particular video. It may be a single piece of advice, but it is much less straightforward one might think - and above all extremely important.
@leamubiu
@leamubiu Год назад
@@contemporaryartissue The series should introduce itself through 95% great content, rather than 50% fluff. If the content does be subtle and require explaining, then maybe it deserves the real estate here allocated to “pick me” blurb.
