Why paint?
I typed that into my browser and came across this http://www.ktauches.com/WHY_PAINT_NOW.html
Some of the reasons put forward really strike a chord:
As I explore the reaches of technology for economic reasons, I have become more interested in how analog and “outdated” technologies can be a punk stance against corporate typography and graphics. A jpeg can travel social networks, but the painting can maintain a stubborn resistance to both Benjamin and the market. –Mark Leibert
In a world that is increasingly disembodied through technology, paint remains a way of embodying. –John Otte
I could also ask why I even try to paint, when the very thought of painting’s history should be enough to make me stop. That said, I am interested in what I can do with it, for now.
