With galleries being closed and artists getting less exposure than ever let’s help spread the word.
Art from living artists only please, the dead ones don’t need the money.

I have a print of the first one on my wall and it always makes me smile, I haven’t a clue what’s going on either. 
All I know is that the world needs more weird art.

I’m obsessed with Elizabeth Foster’s art. Her paintings really capture my imagination.
I tried to buy this original from a gallery in Charleston, but the owner ended up keeping for himself it at the last minute. I’m still angry about that a decade later.
I’ll admit, I struggle with the digital art trends that seem to really be taking over. The physical media is so integral to the experience, imho.

Peter Howsons art is so in your face, but yet gets a message across.
His work is deep and mind provoking, especially his religious themed ones.
Definitely one of the best Scottish painters ever.

Is or does contemporary art …have a place for graffiti, or street art,
There is some great work all over central and South America…in street art…especially Colombia.
They all have a message…which is important …It’s from the heart.
Whether it’s Northen Ireland or Bogota
Would graffiti or street art be treated as art compensatory.
In Colombia they also like N/I create arte from the Pueblo…ie the pineapple grenades , the wasp that was genetically modified to sterilize the coco plant ,
Bobby Sands…who starved himself to death. It’s all important
The Colombians with the help of the Usa tried to Exreminated every plant…the Colombians have a name for it.
and the Yankee dollar sign…Never can we separate life from art.
But it was the same for Italian painters and sculptors back in the day.
So is Graffita contempory art.
That’s not down to us mi amigos.
It’s a strong message … Vivar la vida
