Wow, no one has ever written such a nice and detailed opinion/analysis on any of my art posts, so thank you! It is valuable, coming from an artist.

I love reading what others think about the artworks, or how they see them as we all have a different opinion and see things differently.

My understanding is that lots of artist want people to stop at their work and think.

I've never thought at this, but it makes a lot of sense. it's like clickbait titles or news on the internet.

The truth is, I don't go to openings, because of the crowd (you need to wait for minutes to get a spot in front of the artworks) and also it takes away the fun of guessing. You listen to the artist, who tells you what was the idea behind the artwork, then you can't form your opinion. I'd love to speak to the artists after I visited the exhibition, but that's not how it works 😄
