Artists, I feel, 'see' differently. Intuitive, spontaneous artists seem to 'see ' their environment as they are inspired by it and it is often a singular vision or interpretation but one that the viewer often finds familiar. I find this in many painters, who pursue that more intuitive style. Some of the more controlled works seem to be driven by a combination of intellect and vision, and it is exciting to catch a glimpse of genuine passion bubbling underneath where possible. The language of visual artists is varied and when expressed well in any medium, can be understandable for many.
Response is subjective, as is the work.
I usually feel tingles up my arms when I am excited by a work, an emotional response that may occur within an intellectual response, and also may conflict. The point of engagement is a special moment, even for the most jaded art lover. Viewer and work have formed the perfect relationship. All rights reserved.
