Change up your art to maintain aesthetic taste
Paintings, photography, sculptures, ceramics... The room is filled with all sorts of objects, large and small, and framed works that would not all fit in the living room are displayed here and there. The home of photographer Ari Marcopoulos, who has been photographing the era since the 1980s, freely crossing various fields such as street, subculture, and fine art, is in the midst of a makeover.
"Recently, we've repainted the walls of our house, and my partner and I have been rearranging our artwork at our own pace. It must be a joy to be able to look at your favorite artwork on a daily basis, but after a while they start to look stale and you stop paying attention to them.
That's why I sometimes change the things I display and rearrange them. Many of them are traded for my own creations or given as gifts, but the one I'm introducing today is one I bought for myself and that's why I often display it. It's a staple in my home.
To me, art should not be created with the intention of being sold as art. That's why I view both this anonymous antique sculpture that I came across in an antique shop while out for a walk and the artworks displayed in galleries as equally authentic art."
For 40 years, the photographer has been focusing his viewfinder on everyone from celebrities to passersby, and he also looks at art with equal ease, occasionally rearranging his photos to maintain his fresh aesthetic sense.
