Art like any other business is subject to the market.  Usually, the market determines what is made.  So, there are trends in the art world.  The kind of art or the type of art that is selling in the UK.  We are responding to a market and as we respond to a market, sometimes we get compromised; sometimes we compromise ourselves.  But the question is; to what extent can we respond to the market, as to maintain integrity.

Black middle class and fine art in Zimbabwe

Every time an artist makes something, he wants that piece to communicate and the question is who this person that the artist wants to communicate with.

People are building mansions and you wonder; where is the economy going. People are making money.  And you may ask what are they hanging in the walls of their homes.
