This kind of art is hot now, and is selling for BIG $$$ in New York.

I think some artists who are very facile use their talent to stay current rather than paint what moves them. Perhaps they aren't sure what they really want to say, or maybe how they want to say it. They are technically able to pull off a tour de force of what is popular now, so they do, to become known. I could not imagine doing that, or even wanting to do that.

When I look at art, I want to see what was in the artist's heart. I want to see how it was made, the mixture of struggle and confidence.
