With its vibrant splashes of colour, provocative lettering and words, this masterpiece speaks about the truth of the art world and the way society puts pressure on artists that they must live from their art to be considered successful artists and sought after. While this illusion is tempting, the reality is 99% of artists don’t live from their art, as it’s so goddamn hard. Creating a piece of original art is tough, and selling one is even harder. Making this regularly is near impossible, and this puts a lot of strain on artists. The need to pay the bills creates pressure and need, which is the ultimate killer of artistic expression, and hence a lot of artists and art galleries struggle, especially the ones who rely on living from art sales.
