Hi Paul,
Reading your post, I am so pleased to hear that the Sony Bravia ad with
the balls was real! Those ads were better than a lot of programming on
tv last year- captivating colour, movement.
I agree with your idea that there is a reaction against the influence of
multinationals and an earlier comment that people are more sophisticated
in their understanding of the potentiality and openness of art making.
I think that the reaction against materialism and an'eco sensitivity'
may also be at play here. Less cost, less toxic substances, less
materials used may be part of the interest in drawing. Utilising
existing materials, making small things, focussing on the details - is
this a reaction to our current global economic meltdown?
