Artist Statement for Afsheen Ali
|
|
|
art is not only to see from eyes but also feel from soul and heart and lost in its depth.In the Western world, ‘art’ means something different to everyone: it is ‘self-expression’, social comment’, ‘art for art’s sake’, ‘a means for radicalizing the masses’ or ‘ an instrument for providing aesthetic pleasure’. In short, to us, ‘art’ is but seldom what it is meant to be, and what it has always been: a means of playing upon human faculties in such a way as to provoke a consciousness of superhuman realities - of the realm beyond the senses.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance ,From all that I have seen I am more than ever convinced that art must communicate, it must represent, it must describe and express people, their lives and times.
