Everyone to their own - we are all different, all individuals and we all have our own idea what art is and how we wish to present it. I'm not a fan of abstract art but that doesn't mean it's not art or that others shouldn't enjoy creating or viewing it. This for most of us is a release from the real world - time away from paying bills and going to work - everyday tensions. We create images for pleasure and, how, why or what does not matter. If you don't like my images, I don't care because I enjoy making them. I happen to like realistic images and try and create realistic images (I stress the word 'try'). I on the other hand would not dare criticize another artist for producing abstract art or any other kind of art just because it isn't to my personal taste. In short - live and let live and why should it matter what another artist is producing, just as long as he/she enjoys it. What is art anyway? a photograph? a painting or a stack of bricks in the Tate gallery?
