Your art opinion: My favourite quotes

Over 200 people shared their thoughts in my recent Art Opinion quiz - and the results offer a useful snapshot of how people connect with art in 2025.

"I like to see the birth of what I buy."

"I have intentionally placed art around my home and property for people to randomly find as they walk around."

"I despair at the amount of crap written about art by galleries, art schools, artists."

"My art is displayed everywhere in my home. Depends on how much light I want on the art. Natural light plays a big factor."

It doesn't matter to me if the artist is famous, I must WANT the art."

"But for me to collect much more I would need more wall space or I would have to get rid of something. For me to remove something from my wall or shelf would mean that I couldn't do with OUT the piece I buy so it really must call to me."

"I will be willing to commission art should I see something I desire."

"I would never commission because a piece has to speak to me, and if the commissioned piece did not speak to me I would be devastated."

"For me it's always love at first sight. No analysis, no reflection. One look and I'm won over!"
