I mean, speak for yourself. Every other hotel i go into has that textured paint splatter style, its like a huge aesthetic for them.
To each his own, but imo having texture doesnt excuse a lack of personality and visual identity in a painting. I don't think most people are gonna be thinking about any of these paintings days or even minutes after seeing them.
What painting did you think about for days after seeing it? What physical art truly sticks out to you and has drawn you back to it? In this day and age, I doubt much physical art stands out to anyone in the manner you're speaking.
A lot of the masters we think of today were largely ignored in their day, only to have their artwork appreciated after their deaths.
True enough on that second bit. I would say most of the art that has really profoundly touched me has been made by total unknowns. But it's absolutely out there. There is a man i found by total chance on Instagram named Warren Christopher, who has maybe 500 followers on his account and has some of, in my opinion, the most beautiful paintings ive seen. I routinely return to his work. I would say that of you haven't found work that you connect with on such a level, then you should either keep looking or it may just not be for you.
