Christine Cheung: artist.
That same art gallery that I went to last month had another showing today with a new artist. The paintings this time around were more cheerful than last month or maybe they were just more abstract. The lack of zombie like bodies helped plus the brighter use of color.
As I looked at these paintings my mind wondered what makes a painting great or better yet what motivates people into buying art be it paintings or photos or any art for that matter. The talent of the artist? The technical use of color, brush strokes, subject matter, composition? Or maybe it's how the buyer feels about the artwork. Perhaps it brings the buyer to a happier place, reminiscing value if you will, a love long lost. Or maybe the piece of work matches their couch and living room setting.
