John Duncan is my favourite artist. He elevates the soul with his paintings in a manner which isn't kitsch or stilted. You can read my analysis of one of his greatest paintings in @SolsticePrint

Alot of commenting on this, and Stoat is totally correct. My 2 cents is that a deterioration in the Platonic foundation of Western Art has caused people to lock themselves into a spirit of mundane referentiality. Da Vinci talks about transcending the spirit of mere copying often
That’s why 90 percent of artists these days are mediocrities. You got to draw from your imagination most of the time and use reference only when you feel you’re getting stuck. We need to get people out of constant studycel mode and into composing actual pictures.

What is contemporary art? How does it relate to the spirit of our age? Can we move beyond it? Delighted to talk with @Si_SmithArt editor of @SolsticePrint about his latest article in Solstice, a new magazine exploring art and beauty in our time. youtu.be/hdegiaRusUs
