There isn't enough continuity in todays art world to have any cohesive art movement signifying our time.
I don't really care whether you think I like these works or not. I am saying we are in an unfocused period in our art history. An individual may find themselves with direction and vision regarding there own work, but they are individuals in the end. Will one have a lasting impact in our time, or will it require the whole?
Where do todays artists belong if we continue to force ourselves out of the past and toward uncertainty only to fall back on the tested methodology? Is that what is required for progress? The principles of design are the same through time. We, as artists, manipulate them, focus them, twist them to speak for us. But in the end the pieces speak only one voice and sadly, I feel, that voice will be lost in the crowd.
