What is ART?

Lars SchotzauA question which arises in lots of people, who are visiting a museum of modern art in order to find a beautifully stretched canvas with a single red dot on it. Is this a work of art or is someone just playing with your mind in order to confuse you? Like everything else in life it depends from which angle you see it. Let me give you a different example: You might see a stunning building in front of you but after walking in a circle around it you realize that it is only a facade. So, I can't give you the answer for the red dot (only you can do it) but I can present you my vision of art.

Lars SchotzauSo what is art to me? Art to me is the understanding of myself in connection to the world around me. Expressing thoughts through the use of a huge range of materials I feel that art is giving me the freedom lots of people are seeking for but haven't found yet. Eternalizing a wave of energy, which is flowing straight from the body onto the canvas, art in one way frees me from feelings and thoughts, which need to be released. But on the other hand, it describes parts of me, which I feel need to be shared with the observer. Art to me is lots of stories written with use of colours, brushes, pencil or simply a pen.

On my website you find these stories, expressed on a canvas, paper or simply put in words in order to create a poem, which describes the moment it has been written in perfectly well. Herewith I do invite you to forget about the troubles, which seem to haunt your brain and go through my pages to see what maybe I see or to see what you would like to see. Have a look at my paintings and drawings and create an imaginary vision, which entirely belongs to you. Read my poetry and thoughts and create a world on your own, which hopefully will put a smile on your face. Enjoy!!!

My site, which has been designed by Creator Design this year, has been a great success so far. Why?
 
www.larsarts.com turned out to be a big and pleasurable project for myself and for the designers. This site not only includes my artworks such as drawings or paintings, but the whole site has become during its development an artwork itself.
 
At the beginning of the project, a detailed layout of the site was worked out until both parties (client and designers) agreed on it. From that moment onwards Creator Design put a lot of effort into completion of the project.
 
Every detail has been considered... from the choice of colours up to the layout of each page. After each completed step, Creator Design forwarded the results to me for inspections and further suggestions. If suggestions were made by me, Creator did not hesitate to implement them unless they considered them to be "nonsense". Each page was only "ticked" as completed until both parties were happy with the result.
 
Working together with the team of Creator has been a great pleasure. I felt throughout the whole project a healthy balance between the client and the designers. Queries were answered promptly and the advice given by Creator with regards to the look and the promotion of the site has been always a great help. There was no need for me to worry about the outcome of the project since I was assured that everything has been taken care of.
 
Furthermore I need to mention that majority of creative inputs for the site were suggestions made by David and Marius, whose ideas were innovative and original. Ideas, which will contribute to the hopeful success of my site.
