Does YOUR Art Need Meaning? [Artist Thoughts] || Oil Painting Portrait Time-lapse

In this time-lapse video of my oil painting portrait of an indigenous girl I ask and explore the question "Does Great Art Need Meaning?"
Let me know down in the comments if you think art needs to have a meaning behind it.

Love the palette prep before starting the painting and this piece is amazing. I do love listening to what people believe the artist was trying say when they create something.

I think as an artist you are trying to get a reaction, a movement of energy from both the artist performing and the viewer. I find art subjective, depending on personal experience and interaction with life and the world we inhabit.

[@LukeDurdin]

I agree. Especially with the growth of all the different types of art available now it shows how diverse and subjective the art world really is.

@@LukeDurdin hi Luke, what is your thoughts on Rothko painting selling for 75 million dollars, 3 colours striped on a canvas ! People starving in the world and that is called art. Bonkers !

[@LukeDurdin]

I think the abstract movement is a huge part of art history and plays a big role In modern art today. I can't speak for the value of art on that scale because truthfully I think there's alot of factors at play and I'm not well educated in world renowned gallery sales. But at the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder 🤷‍♂️
