I went to an amazing art exhibition over the weekend which reminded me how devaluated art is. Have you ever felt startled by a work of art?<\/p>\n

\"Art<\/p>\n

It was at the Halcyon Gallery. The artist is a recognised person in the art world who makes \u00a0beautifully\u00a0intriguing glass figures, which he then exhibits around the world. If you have \u00a0been to the V&A museum recently, you might have seen the huge, green and blue\u00a0lamp
\nin the Grand Entrance. That is one of his own works of art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three things caught my eye:<\/p>\n

The colours<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The intrincate shapes<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How well\u00a0they merge \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Art<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"Art<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \"Art<\/p>\n

What rea<\/span>l<\/span>ly amazed me is the effort he must have put in and countless number of tests that he must have used to create those objects.\u00a0<\/span>He works with glass, plastic water and ice, exploring the visual relationship between the objects he creates and\u00a0light. I cannot imagine how many hours he, and other artists, need to take for them to create all those objects which might not even sell well nor are appreciated.<\/p>\n

For example, Keith Haring<\/a>\u00b4s art work is more valuable now than when he was alive. The same goes for Bernini and other classic art masters. I also believe that effort is not that valued in other areas of\u00a0life.<\/p>\n
