That's the trouble with multi-gallery art, which is why I have a hard time wanting to submit stuff. When you have a whole collective of different artists put in one gallery, the continuity of one person's style is lost in the plethora of other people's ideas, emotions, and artistic signatures. It all becomes a mass of pictures/sculptures - each one screaming "PICK ME!"
Seeing one picture in an impersonal gallery setting may actually degrade its intrinsic value in an isolated setting such as one's personal reading room or office. We may never know what the artist actually intended when they were creating it in the comfort of their own chosen ambience. Perhaps they painted it in softer light or on a screened-in porch overlooking a rolling wooded hillside, or standing on their head with their eyes rolling around on their third microdot...
Everyone has a right to paint, sculpt, write, compose. We have a right to observe, criticize, and ultimately purchase if that right is available to us. Hope this helps.
Is it normal to think some modern art is useless?
