Realism is the ULTIMATE art form

Realism is not the mindset of an artist but of an Hampartist. Hamparte is concept of taking nothing and turning it into nothing...

A lot of people would look at this and say it’s smart, creative, it embodies a deep message. That’s what some people think when they see this; I however, see a pair of bloody glasses. Don’t get me wrong I’m wrong I’m sure there is meaning behind this peice but it’s mediocre at best in presentation and viewing. If this is considered art, I see why lost people think art is easy.

Well you might be wrong thinking that something is art just by the fact that a piece is exhibited in an art exposition or sold for an immense amount of money; not all that glitters is gold.

Everything evolves in this world depending on the age, social movements, and discoveries people have made in order to develop new concepts. In this case, the transition of art through time has coined this new concept: Hamparte.
