Constrained or Unconstrained Art

Is art spontaneous or robotic? 

Today the constrained principles of capitalism has become a constraint on art, what art is, what it can be and its potential.  Mind you, I think that capitalism is the best way out there for masses of anything to be controlled and governed.  The constraints of capitalism on art, art making and creating comes in the form of a museum, a gallery, or a curation. 

But, art is not part of the masses. It has always been an isolated event between an artist and their media. The unconstrained freedom of Abstract Expressionists can never happen again.  All we can hope for is what history has left us with and the elements of that history that we can use within our current times.

My work is playful but it doesn’t have a playground that is fenced in.  What viewers relate to is the freedom that my work expresses and the uncontrolled mark making blog with what these marks represent.
