  • how do you pronounce your last name?

  • I pronounce "Taetzsch" as one syllable rhyming with the letter "H." Or "tach" with a long "a" as in "page."

  • can i ask how you approach a work, an abstract work, and for example, if you know you want certain colours / lines (whatever) but your not sure of its meaning? Is there ever a message / mood or something your trying to portray. or is the point not to portray anything. I am interested because its hard (musically) trying to approach a work with say a specific idea i.e. war, without it becoming a cliche theme with military / bombs etc

  • I don't approach a painting with a specific idea, although I may be expressing a mood I am in. But I am not looking for an "end result," rather putting the feeling into the painting process. When the painting is finished, the viewer may find their own interpretation.

  • Im an art student, and this is a load of bollocks!

  • Amazing coloured works! you have some truly amanzing arts.

  • I really enjoyed your story about that painting and i think it's great...

  • Nice Painting!!!!

  • @fruitysquerrle abstract art is art. Abstract art is usually not seen as being visually aesthetic as it tends to represent more of the Idea behind it. Thats why its an abstraction of something. that being said there are a lot of hack artists out there.

  • Thanks for ur explanation!

  • Thats were you are wrong!

    CLEARLY WRONG!

    I paint almost every day and my god you have no idea how interested i'm in art!

    I have a blog with some of my paintings but trust me i have thousands at home!

    Lets say I buy a ten dollar canvas and paint it red then add drips of paint to it.

    Will it have a value of millions?

    If you look at a 2 year old and watch her/him paint it is perfectly the same to what adults are painting these days!

    grow up!

  • If you don't think this is art, why did you bother to watch it? You clearly have no understanding of art or any interest is art. Why don't you go find a show on basket weaving?

  • How is this art?

    Any 3 year old kid can do this!

    This is an escape for those that don't know how to draw!
