I heard ”Painting is Dead” for the first time, but not the last time at Art School while majoring in Painting.

Hmm, I thought, how odd, I’m painting. I’m painting new stuff all the time and it does not seem dead. Does anyone else acknowledge this form of Art anymore and if not, does that make it nonexsistent? Can this be true, or am I living in a fantasy world, as I have often been accused? This very well, could be the case, though I don’t know that I mind. I like my world.

Hmm, I thought and kept on painting and combining Painting with Installation Art, Performance Art, Sculpture and Photography.

Painting still remains in my means of artistic expression and is alive and well, in my world anyway.

This may be true of our own existence. If we believe one exists and does not seem dead, even if it is only within our own world, within our fantasy or memory, then that being is alive and well, in our world anyway.
