Project 3: King Street Gallery Client
The client for this project is Dr. Tom Loveday, who could be considered a contemporary abstract artist. Many of his artworks deals with abstracted forms and concepts which comment on a variety of philosophical topics. Although he works predominantly with painting, Dr. Loveday also works with installations, and has become increasingly interested in curating exhibitions.
Interestingly, Dr. Loveday comments on how art has become increasingly become divested of human emotion and quality. He discusses how the appreciation art, and art galleries themselves are increasingly seen as a realm exclusive to the intellectual and cultural elite; that the common everyday person considers themselves underqualified to appreciate art. This is in part due to the illusion of inaccessibility created by the design of private and public galleries, which often do not encourage the passerby to engage with the exterior and then move through the interior.
