When aspects of pure concept reach obscure levels and the artist begins to participate in the world of contemporary art post the year 2000, we have so many different opportunities to try and achieve any sort of creative platform. Time and time again, artists are forced within barriers that keep their creative stem forming inside – blocked within pre-determined capacities such as a gallery wall, a painted surface, or a sculpture made up of certain material. The importance of the differential between the idea, motion, performance, and the simple painted surface is astounding and should never be overlooked or unaccounted for. This juxtaposition of the body, motion and the status of an art object are considered very carefully by the artist determining the piece, a concept work, or a performance work. The final item can easily end up being much more planned and calculated than any realist or structured abstract painting. In recent years, certain looks at society and its circles have played a major role in the artist and his/her view of the social aesthetic.
