Interview with:Carl Anders Breitholtz [43014anders]
ART
 | What do you do? How do you define yourself as an artist? Usually I paint, water coulors mainly, sometimes acrylic, at times I mix various media.
Well, I'm a painter and an inventor. |
| What is your message? I have no message in particular. I paint for my own pleasure only. So "pleasure", could that be a message? I want to be free in my art and I want others to be free too - well, that is a message of course. |
| Your biography in four lines. I was born the day before D-day.
Since then the world has taken an unpredictable direction.
I have studied æstetics, art history and the natural colour system. These three has been of some importance to me.
I see, watch, think and do things. Maybe one could call it art. |
| Do you upload your work to the web? If so, where could we see it? |
| How is an idea born? For you, what is inspiration? Ideas just come, I never look for them, they come to me.
Inspiration? Well, to be happy when I see what I have done. |
| What role does technology play in your creative process? Technology?
None. |
| What is art? Good question. |
| When do you get your best ideas? So far I haven't got that particular one as yet. |
| How do you evaluate whether an idea is good or not? I really don't know. I don't evaluate when I'm at work as that inhibits creativity. Maybe I look at pictures many years afterwords and then I could have a feeling, well, that wasn't too good but that is something and so on. |
| Three creative ideas that you would have liked to have created? ? |
| When and how did you begin to see yourself as an artist? When? On June the 5th.
How? My mother gave birth to me. |
| Why do so many artists and creators have such volatile personalities? Well, I suppose you have to ask them to get a proper answer. |
| Do you consider yourself postmodern? As I have never been modern, so how could I be post-modern? |
| How should a work of art be evaluated? Art shouldn't be evaluated. Art is a way of life. |
| Must an artist reinvent him/herself everyday? Yes, why not? |
| Which artists do you admire and how do they influence your work? Lrac Sredna Ztlohtierb.
We inspire each other tremendously. |
| What do you think about public funding for the arts? That's good. Do you want my account number? |
| Is art necessary? Could one imagine a world without any form of art? |
| Does it pain you to let go of a piece you have sold? Never. Well, on second thought: yes, it has occured. |
| Is a work of art purchased, or is it better said, that it is the artist who is bought? Two different things with no correlation. |
| In art, there is no guide. How do you know what the next step is? I don't. But I could hazard a guess. |
| How do you feel about the fact that the pieces exhibited in contemporary art museums are often of artists already deceased? Being Swedish, i dont understand the meaning of the word deceased? |
| What role have the figures of art dealer, gallery owners, representatives, and intermediaries in general played in your career? So far not a very grand role. |
| What types of jobs do you usually do? Inventions. |
| Which of your jobs or tasks do you most enjoy? To create. |
| Do you personally collect any items? Not really, no. |
| Which websites do you frequently visit? goggles. |
| What advice would you give to those just beginning? See, think, do and enjoy. |
