Blue Fields
How much are you prepared to sacrifice in exchange for an art form that appeals to your senses, emotions and intellectual faculties? Art forms can range from a non-living object such as a craft, a design or an art to a living being such as a person, an animal or a pet. Art forms can also be intangible such as music, fragrances, mathematical proofs or theories of everything.
Are there common human aesthetic values (such as proportion, symmetry and harmony) that enable us to distinguish the beautiful from the ugly, the artistic from the non-artistic? Are we not somewhat influenced by our social and cultural background, as well as moral, religious, economic and political orientations? If so, our aesthetic or artistic judgment is not static and can be changed as circumstances change and can be evolved with the times.
While the form's inherent features or the creator's subjective belief might not constitute art, what is acknowledged or experienced by those engaging it would constitute the form as art or non-art, as the case may be. In the multisensory and multimedia world, I believe beauty does not only lie in the beholder's eyes, but also in all of the beholder's senses, emotions and intellectual faculties. While non-living art forms worn out over time can be restored, living art forms' high spirits can also be forever young.
I feel I have been enjoying with quite a lot of non-living and living art forms simulating life's dramatic experience. I have also showcased myself online my creative process to make an aesthetic impact via my art forms, no matter how little that may be. In what I call the "blue fields" of contemporary arts, you never know if you might cultivate others' recognition and admiration of your works, and how pleasurable and valuable they can become!
