Hey thanks! That's great feedback, I appreciate it. The slower pace isn't for everyone but I am not a fan of most TH-cam pacing so here we are. Attention spans seem so short these days, but it's hard to learn anything meaningful in a hurry!
Thank you! That video itself is also a background primer for the other four in the series, I like to go a little deep on things when it’s something I’m really into :)
Awesome video! A note on the painting content spectrum: it's more accurate/precise to describe it as 'non-objective vs representational'. Those two terms better represent the aims of painting. On one end you have the non-objective (entirely based on or about formal language), and on the other you have representational (clearly or strictly featuring person, place, or thing). 'Abstract' and 'figurative' both fit on that spectrum and neither are extremes. It's also worth noting that conceptual photography and Conceptual Art (the 1960s-70s movement) are nearly mutually exclusive things. 'Conceptual' is a tricky word in art-talk for that reason.
Thanks for writing that out, my thoughts pretty much exactly :) "Abstract" is still something that has its roots in perception, even though it may have been abstracted so far it may be impossible to discern what is being represented. Whereas non-objective or nonrepresentional art does not depict anything from the outer world to begin with.
Keep coming back to your videos. Really great content which I’ve learnt a lot from. Be great to have some more? Thanks for posting these. Have a great one. 😁👍
Loved your comment at 10:45 about painting starting from a blank and conceptual photography starting with an image then subtracting (though I'd say we add as well in things like photoshop and digital painting). Newbie myself in this space, I look forward to watching your other videos.
Thanks! There is definitely some grey area there and you’re absolutely right that we can find exceptions! But it’s one of many helpful ways to look at things🤘
@@VinnyLePes as a painter i would add that some painters, myself included, are keen to encourage accidental marks in the painting as much s possible, to reduce the overall emphasis on intention and allow the reality to enter the arena. I always think of painting as a conversation between the artist and the materials.
Hey Vinny..I really loved the way you have explained and made the video. Please do more like this and hope you start monetizing your awesome content. You should definitely start Patreon and be a Patreon Creator.
I appreciate it, Vishal! It's very encouraging that you think my videos are valuable enough for viewer support :). I will consider Patreon when I get back to making videos, thank you for the advice. I started to set one up before and realized I didn't have the time to make extra videos or content for people and never felt right just putting one up for 'donations'.
Sobano S check out the description, I timestamped everything for you all as I usually do 🤘 If the first 11 minutes are remedial for anyone, start at the second video in this series where it gets more practical. But I think the illustrations in this video help a lot of people who haven’t looked at photography in this way. Cheers 🍻
I’m on the road atm but I’ll try to remember to get back to you. But look at the comments on each video in this series, people dropped a lot of great names and I did as well
Thank you, you helped me articulate what I'm attracted to create more succinctly
Great presentation. I like the rythm of the pics/talk and the choice of photographers. I learned a lot.

Thank you for the comment! I will read up on that distinction, appreciate you sharing it. Have a great holiday 🤘

Thank you, Jezz! I will be back :)
Great video, helped me to understand some basics about abstract art! Thx for sharing it.
Thanks! I’m glad to have helped :)
It’s first in a 4 part series if you want to go deeper, and I have a lot more in the vein coming this year!
Fantastic to listen to! So informative!
Thank you for the kind words, Nikki! I'm really glad you found it interesting :)
I like it how you think about it. This is a great clip about this stuff.
Thank you, Gerhard!
Really insightful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Matt Bray well put! 🍻
You are a great artist!! 😌 Thank you !
Aww, you are too kind! ☺️ Thank you for the uplifting comment, it was a nice way to start my morning! ☕️
Great information. Thank you.
Thanks, Bob! I appreciate you watching and taking the time out to let me know :).
Excellent!!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. There are a few more in the series if you find yourself wanting more on the subject :).
I watched the video you made after this one. One of the conceptual photographers whose work I found appealing in the past is Sandy Skoglund
Oh wow, her work is insane
Thanks, this is cool stuff

LOL I literally thought I invented this and then I looked it up and turns out it’s an established art form
I don’t know if it’s truly ‘established’ so hang on to the creative win haha
Vinny Le Pes yeah so i couldn’t find much more than your video describing it, do you know any note able artists that partake in this?
I’m on the road atm but I’ll try to remember to get back to you. But look at the comments on each video in this series, people dropped a lot of great names and I did as well
Lord Varys is that you?
I can only hope you're referring to my charisma and not my gigantic head 😂
