Unknown Artist.

 For an Artist getting attention is one of the most important things you can do.

Getting attention is standing out from the Art crowd, not being like everyone else, but being the best you can be.

I know that this is a real challenge because fear does not want us to stand out and be different because this not safe, you could be criticised and talked about and fear does not want that, so it will do all it can to stop you from standing out.

It will use every excuse it can find to stop you, it will tell you that you are shy, reserved and you do not push yourself forward, but you must ignore the fear and do exactly the opposite to what it says.

Artists say to me, but I don’t want to do that I just want to be in the background and let my Art speak for me.

I think one of the most absurd Art exhibitions I have ever been to was where the Artist called himself Anon and did not show their face because the paintings spoke for themselves, well guess how many paintings sold?

Good guess, none.

For a start Art does not speak for itself and think about what you are saying, that you don’t want to be named, just your Art.

Unfortunately an unknown Artist, is an unknown Artist, so get attention so people know you and know your name.

Attention is currency in the Art world.
