Response To The Satachi Gallery

The Saatchi gallery can be described in many ways, but from my prospective it is an ambitious gallery from work ranging from a room filled with oil to a tree trunk on some bent metal railings to a blanket on the floor. I have to say that when i went to the gallery i first went into a room which was filled with oil which at the time i did not know what i was meant to be looking at. It was very confusing. I then noticed that the walls and the roof was reflecting on the oil so that it looks like there is nothing there. I took my time to notice what it was but it is a very clever idea but it did not smell nice as it was oil.

A statement that Andy Warhol once said is that, "Art is anything" which is found i the Grazia article. I agree with this as anything can be art and art can be anything. One day a pillow in a car tyre could be classed as art or it might have been already. It just shows that art can be anything.

In the article from The Daily Telegraph, i agree with Richard Dorment's point that he has made, "Only a few struck me " (been reworded). Only a few struck me that i found really interesting, then the rest i just thought it was pointless, why make it? This is because different people have different ideas of art and like different types of art. For me alot of the work that i liked was by the same artist and that was Ged Quinn. I really found his paintings amazing, so much was happening in them. They had a sense of real life and made up fairy tale.

In the Vogue article i disagreed with Charlotte Sigclair as she says, "The artists are less attention - seeking". Art is competition so who enters art in a competition wants to get noticed so they are looking for for attention and fame or money, but everyone is looking for money. Eugenie Scrace entered a piece of art in a competition and she ended up winning it, so this means she was looking for attention, but she got it for entering a piece of art that she did not even create which is totally unfair. If they were not looking for attention or fame, their work would not be in the Saatchi gallery where people would biew it. I would say this is looking for fame and attention.

The Saatchi gallery is a place to find art that is different to what you would expect to see. It is mostly created by young British artists who would have talent for their work to be displayed, so they have worked hard for this and this is the right way to go.
