When you tell your artist friends that their artwork is good, are you just being polite? Similarly, if your friends tell you your artwork is actually really cool, are they just being nice?

It’s about psychology. Take it from me; an awful artist whose friends used to feed me rubbish constantly after I painted another self-portrait that looked like a sun-dried tomato, the answer is in the initial reaction. It’s 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!

A long pause can also say it all. If more than two seconds pass between someone seeing an art contemporary piece and commenting, then the artwork in question probably doesn’t give the audience much to talk about.

Art contemporary is ideal for everybody, and any form of self-expression in the modern day is art contemporary, but some things just won’t make the grade on any levels set out by anyone. However, having said that, I think that it’s important to remember that an artist shouldn’t set out to please anybody when creating something new. If it is true art contemporary, then it has to come from inside the artist. Don’t you think?
