Artist: Carl Ansloos – Mr Painter British contemporary artist. Title: The Importance of Being. This piece was showcased at digital exhibitions in both Chicago and Beijing, 2021. Carl works predominantly in oil on canvas. His work aims to give the visual image context and relevance, challenging institutionalised ideals and hierarchy. He chooses not to recognise the authority of any single style or definition of what art should be, aiming to breakdown the division between high culture and everyday life. Carl’s work accepts and fortifies the current shift within the art world today and he attempts to reinforce societal changes in attitudes toward art. The composition plays with perspective and transcends the limits of everyday reality, allowing the viewer to imagine their own interpretation without being hindered by historical artistic order. No conflict, division or boundaries should eclipse the lessons found in the desire by creatives to coexist in unison. Digital jpeg image taken from original painting.
