Thanks for watching! If you want to support the production of these videos, liking the video will go a long way! Or, check out my Instagram (link in description) and follow me there as I'm aiming to reach 1k followers before the end of the year!
I am watching this and felt compelled to comment when you talked about "Knolling". Oh my word....this is exactly why I can't create as much as I want to. All my supplies are stored in boxes, drawers etc, and I feel like I can't just grab and go when I need to create something. I spend too much time rummaging around and the moment becomes frustrating instead of flowing. Wow, I need to fix this with knolling.....
Yea proper organisation can significantly reduce friction during the creative process. Although not all artists are quite as organised as Tom Sachs. He takes it to maybe an extreme level, which might even be counter productive. Might do a longer video on Tom Sachs in the future.
7:59 Marilyn is very right about one thing: to find really translucent high-quality oil paints... it´s really hard. She really is onto something here. I didn´t know about her, I am so glad I get to discover her through this video!
Fascinating stuff Alex. Think I saw KAWS with studio assistants on another vid. As you rightly say about Murakami et al, it wouldn’t be possible to be so prolific without help. I’m a big fan of Rosenquist. His studio set up was on a big scale but as a former billboard painter, his technique was such that he could create a lot with only a handful of assistants.
Many big artists aren’t as ‘up front’ about utilizing assistants -most do. I worked for a big artist, and when an interviewer would come to the studio, we were told to take the afternoon off (and effectively disappear).
I saw Ai WeiWei retrospective exhibition in Vienna in 2022. I didn't think his work will resonate with me, but it did, his blend of social/political comentary is put in the form that is understandable and abstact at the same time
Yes, it is a technique and that is all it is. Any artist who is able can learn it , also each artist will paint differently which is a good thing. Techical skill is nothing new, it's been around as long as human beings! Remember Rembrandt's student who painted more like Rembrandt than Rembrandt himself!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Part of knolling is put the tool away in its place as soon as you're finished!
100 million individually painted flower seeds, is that possible?
It sure is!
