If art is meant to be something, could it be nothing at all? What if it's just that- art, no meaning behind it just a simple square frame on a wall?
It's questions like
this that ran through my mind as I walked among the crowd at the Art Gallery of
Ontario this past Wednesday. The art gallery is a place where I love to go to,
whether it is to sketch, find inspiration or simply attend the latest
exhibition with my friends. For my
lovely readers who do not know me personally, art was where I found my love for
fashion. Studying art and creating art are in two complete opposite spectrum's. I
personally think just because you understand art from an institutional perspective, it doesn't automatically
categorizes you as an ' artist'. Art can and is created by everyone every day.
It can be seen in the doodles of a child, the outfit an individual chooses to
wear on any particular day, to the lyrics of an inspiring songwriter. None of
these 'artist' have attended a prestigious intuition to acquire their right to
be called an 'artist'; some of the best artists are self-taught and to me, the
best kind of art is raw. Society intoxicates our minds and traps us in a
consumer culture that is very hard to escape from and our only way of
liberation is through our unique form of self-expression. Art would be much
easier to comprehend and appreciate if we did not have a preconceived notion of
the world around us, where we see no race or social class and just see each
other as people.
For those who are
unfamiliar with the Art Gallery of Ontario, I would highly recommend visiting. Wednesday

| This series of photographs by Suzy Lake really captivated me as I walk passed her exhibition. The use of pinks and blues created a powerful contrast against the white wall, H&M turtle neck Forever 21 jogger trousers Adidas SuperStar black on white |
