The Arid Sluices Through Which Cash Pours and the Heart Desiccates
My work explores the contemporary stance of the art market, using the element of gold to ironically portray luxury and wealth. Art, in my assessment, is the expression of life. However, in today's art world, it has become a commodity, so unachievable consumed by a covetous art market. The work here from my series entitled 'The Arid Sluices Through Which Cash Pours and the Heart Desiccates', presents itself dominated by wealth, the audience rather than initially look at the piece as art, perceives it as an object of commodity, a portrayal of the situation the art world has succumbed to today. Therefore, ultimately challenging how we view and value art in this contemporary age.
