Hmmm.... Am I supposed to comment on conceptual art? I do agree with the article that a conceptual art piece is more intuitive than logical. You can have logic in it, but there is a strength in the idea of the piece that makes it fall under the conceptual category. You most likely had something you wanted to express before creating the artwork.
ReplyDeleteNow, perceptual art makes me think of the technical aspect of art, whether it's the technique or color choices. I honestly think a successful piece of artwork is both conceptual and perceptual.
