Represented by a secretarybird, the character in this piece by artist Lieven Hendrickx tackles the difficult subject that will sound familiar to any artist: finding the balance between the value of your artwork and making a living from it. To what lengths must an artist go to survive, and at what point do you ‘sell your soul’? While the artist is constantly weighing the issue, the whole world is watching. The shirt, covered with Instagram icons, symbolizes the world of social media. In addition to creating art, an artist these days also has to create content. How do you stand out and avoid drowning in a sea of noise? All of these questions weigh heavily on the artist. Despite the bright colors of the piece, you can feel the weight of the subject. Who said philosophical dilemmas couldn’t be colorful?
