Hey Everyone;
I was recently in a studio of a well known fellow artist here in Las Vegas and after a few glasses of wine our discussion turned to our work as it often does, “painting is dead”, he claimed…”there is nothing new anymore, its all been done” ..I have heard this before but couldn’t disagree with him more. Painting is alive and well…. and with all the advances in the paints and finishes and the addition of digital painting the doors have been opened even wider in this creative space. Even the financial community is seeing painting as alive as ever. Over the past several years there have been a number of financial institutions who have created art funds… The Mei Moses index, as their most recent update shows, over the last 50 years, stocks (as represented by the S&P 500) returned 10.9 percent annually, while the art index returned 10.5 percent per annum. And in the five years between 2001 and 2005, …………. art trounced stocks….. So is painting dead?…. Not Hardly !.. its just getting started…
Have a great week everyone, talk to you soon…
peace….
………. james
