I'm always the one in the posh art gallery that gets reprimanded for getting too close to the paintings.
I can't help it, I want to see the brushstrokes, the collage layers, the way the colours meld together, and if there are any secret messages in the paint. If there's no one around, I might even sneak a quick touch. But, often that gets me in trouble.
I do get it, if too many people are touching the paintings with their hands, it can affect the resins and varnishes.
I get it, but I don't like it.
I want you to touch my paintings. I want you to have a similar sensory experience to what I had while creating it. It's pretty amazing, I tell you.
