Art by R. Hurst
As Statement: “Art should evoke questions for the viewer to answer, ...or evoke a story. The artist’s intent is, for the viewer, not always obvious or important but is necessary for successful art. Putting a title to a work provides a hint as to the artist’s intent and may be used to affect (manipulate) a specific response from the viewer”.
Is Political: “Art can effect a change in consciousness and therefore can be political".
As Entertainment: “Art should be entertaining while provocative. Art that repulses may not even be art".
As Decoration: “If art is not aesthetically appealing it will ultimately end up in the attic, the celler, or the garbage”.
I want my Art to
evoke questions.... have ambiguity.
evoke a story .... my story may not be the viewer’s story.
entertain .... evoke smiles, emotions and be perceived as worth indulgement.
have aesthetic appeal .... beautiful pictures of ugly stuff is better that ugly pictures.
