Abstract

This essay is based on the author’s thoughts and notes taken over the years as an art practitioner. It is driven by referencing various texts on art theory, philosophy and criticism. Importantly it is influenced by the author’s own practice as an artist and artistic idea (gnosis). By adapting the notion of the artist as “purveyor of meanings" – the text discusses learning as a syncretic idea build on explorative intuition (and reaction) towards exposure to disparate type, style and approach of art forms. Notably, the discussion is presented in a performative manner by writing to ask, “What do I do as an artist?” instead of the expected probing of wondering what art is.
