according to artist, robert irwin, art is not simply about paintings and sculptures and objects as much as it is about the revealing of human consciousness and perception. an art object is not just a thing to be looked at, but a piece of someone's mind in material form. the mastering of conventional media amd technical expertise, though to be valued, shouldn't necessarily be the main goals of art. perhaps successfully bringing to people some kind of engaging sensory experience is just as important. it seems when art is purely focused on technical perfection or the concreteness of an object, often times the true essence of something is glanced over, and the parts that are actually lively and fluid become rigid. the ability to capture essence reveals a fuller understanding of something, an understanding beyond what is visible.
