Art has to fight, otherwise it is nothing than a piece of furniture.

Beauty or Truth

Which one is more important in art, or may I say your art?

Why?

Sincerely,
Farzad

The Brand Library Art Galleries is pleased to present the exhibition The Human Element, featuring the work of Laura Hipke, Farzad Kohan, and Lois Ramirez. The three artists showcased work in mixed media, employing the human figure to create narratives that speak of individual lives as well as the human condition. Viewers will be challenged to unravel the tales told in Kohan’s installations of gender-neutral figures, Hipke’s mysterious portraits, and Ramirez' intricate collage vignettes.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

Do we really need Art?

This question came to me as a result of two separate conversations with two different people. One believes that without art civilization will die, and another one believes that after all we don’t really need art!

The reason to post something like this is simply to open up a dialogue between artists and share others' views. Hopefully we will all learn something from this.

What do you think? Do we need Art? Why?
