Traditional Fine art originals and prints

What constitutes art? Or fine art? What is good or bad art? Questions often pondered and left for the “experts” to decide. Which is fine- but before you answer that, I suggest:

Art, if viable, engages a viewer or audience, suggests an emotion, a memory, a journey and / or a vision that is completed by the viewer and becomes an interaction that is neither static nor all telling. Art has to give and take so that you want to look at it again and again.

Simply said If YOU like it – it is good art to YOU. Isn’t that enough?

His ideas are proven sellers. Now, licensing is available for interested companies wishing to use Brian’s art for their products. Please contact Brian Payne to discuss further.

THE PROCESS

Technical skills, tricks and methods aside….

The process of creating art is sometimes thought of as a spark that ignites a vision and in turn produces the end product.

More often than not it does start with a spark but it is in the doing that the art comes to being. The act of using one’s mind and body together and the interaction of materials, emotion, and ideas are what power my synthesis to the end result. When it works, the final piece is more than the initial vision – and yet not the whole of that vision either. It is a compromise between the brain and the artists’ ability, the limits to what can be processed from that “spark” and to what is actually rendered.
