142 - Audience (question from Victor Leleca)

Published: May 11, 2021, 8:01 p.m.

b'Hi Jeremy ! Hi Rafael!\\n\\nI am Victor Leleca, half-Belgian-half-Moldovian painter based in London. My question is do you make art for an audience? And the subquestion: Do you think dominant distribution platforms (such as social media or marketplaces) are steering the audience away from connoisseurship towards fandom?\\nI am not sure if I am doing art for anybody, but my most rewarding audience moment was IRL, when a small child stood about 5 minutes in front of my painting, amused and mesmerised.\\n\\nLots of Love from rainy London,\\n\\nVictor Leleca'
