Todays art

In today’s art world, differentiation is often dismissed as a form of artistic transgression. Messages are expected to be specific, and acceptance is paramount. Art is increasingly bound by the imperatives of our time.

Why is contemporary art so devoid of meaning?

Many artists find themselves trapped within the confines of conceptual art, creating works that seem devoid of substance. One paints nothing but vertical stripes; another places metal squares on the floor. Like Simeon on his pillar, they dedicate their lives to a cultural revolution that often offers little value beyond its immediate circle of adherents.

Contemporary art has become an integral part of the capitalist machine. It is curated Bohemianism, a cultural revolution perpetuated by financial sleight of hand: profitable businesses invest in art nonprofits, which in turn promote artists.

As the value of their work increases, an art market emerges, attracting speculation and generating profits for businesses. This cycle continues, while the artists, the ascetics of this revolution, serve their time, promising spiritual wonders.

The art world demands sacrifices. Step outside the established norms, and you are out.
