A funny thing happened in the 20th century - art got taken away from craftsmen and was delivered to "philosophers" - The ART of art was taken away and an empty shell of thought remained. We were plagued by pop art and non-objectivism, where the concept became more important than the image.

Well, fuck that.

If I want ideas I'll read a book. If I want to look at an image, I'll look at an image. That's why for my "art declaration", I'm actually going to pick something I made that is intended as a pure visual. I'm totally into philosophy, but I think modern thought had a really negative impact on art - craftsmanship was thrown out the window. I think it's actually OFFENSIVE to suggest that Warhol is the same tier of artist that Michelangelo or Caravaggio was - but so many modern hipsters will attest to that idea. Enough!

So here's my drawing: it was originally meant to be the left panel of a triptych. It is by no means a Michelangelo, a Caravaggio, or even a Magritte. It's just a drawing and is meant to be just a drawing. It's not a philosophical representation of the human condition; it's a return to art for art's sake. Art meant to just be a visual experience.
