What is Art? Discuss...

With what could we scour distant memories of long-forgotten civilisations were it not for the creation of “Art”? From the masters of the Renaissance to the intrusive work of Lucian Freud, the Art World is simply beguiling. I cherish the opportunity to immerse myself in this evocative environment. This blog will serve to express my own views on this unique world in a manner that will explore, criticise and enlighten all things art-related, both old and new. In the words of Susie Price: 'I like Art.'

The premise of Clarisse d’Arcimoles’ artwork is to reconstruct photographs taken during her own childhood, or that of her family members, and to subsequently juxtapose the resultant images in order to highlight the transformation of the protagonist represented within the photo. In recapturing these nostalgic moments, the artist suggests that whilst the physicality of the person may have altered over time, their personality remains unwavering.
