Fine Art

(Entry 60 - 09. 08 2019 )

Painting, fine art, still relevant?

But movies, tv, photography

As a hobby - my craft

Painting is everlasting

Monet, impressionism, struggled

Unpopularity, anonymous exhibitions

His generation, the next & the next

The Avant-garde took its toll

The impressionistic force, took off

Art Nouveau & Arts and Craft movement bears credits

Movements, closely rooted from utilitarian commerce

Profits speaks louder than momentos

Centuries of painting narratives

Generation after generation after generation

The state of perfection has no room for anything less

A bit like ‘American Beauty ’- the movie

Impressionism finally won

So did pop music, Woodstock & computers

But that pursuit of perfection still hanging in the air

Seems we somehow never change

I’v travelled, to many countries

Underneath the differences

We’re all bloody the same

There is no escape

Reality, downtoearthness, cruicial

Perfect commercial bubble kills

My escape - painting on daily basis

In the name of art, I am fleeing

The only justifiable thread

I paint from reality - a real landscape

The breathtaking panaramic view of the city

Helps forgetting about its commercial cruelty

When I come up with a decent painting

Firstly, I -the painter -feel good about myself

Secondly, I feel good about this ‘reality’

The bubble effect worked again

But I never lack reminder of the harsh realities

It seriously contradicts my art practice

Survival of the fittest on daily basis

The bloody foodchain effect

Casualties, sacrafices, ruins

In each & every direction I turn

Under the cover of perfect exteriors

The blood perfection

Painting landscape is therapeutic

But no longer realistic enough

The way Monet struggled in his time

No less severe than we are now

The pretty commercial bubble of Impressionism

As the current exhibition has portraited

Has bursted for me

A new direction is emerging
