“It's absolutely irrelevant what galleries and critics and people who buy your paintings think. They just don't have any possible idea of what happens to you and they're really not that interested.

“Sometimes I think I shouldn't explain much about my work because people will just feel what they feel when they see it. They'll love it or hate it or enjoy it on their own, like how I've looked at abstract paintings of other artists and cried or felt happy because I've felt, "Wow, I've lived that, I've understood that."” PeopleThinkingFeelsSometimesArtistHateFeltEnjoyPaintingUnderstoodAbstractWowCriedAbstract Painting Author:Jose Parla

But if you make a painting of your name and somebody says they hate it, it's like, "Well, why would you like a painting of my name anyway?"” IfsWellsMeanMadeHateNamesPaintingFlower Author:Josh Smith
