People buy art because it speaks to something deep People buy art because it speaks to something deeply human. Long before art was a commodity, it was a way of making sense of the world of expressing emotion, identity, and belief. That impulse remains at the heart of why art continues to be collected today.
Art creates an emotional connection. A work may evoke joy, nostalgia, discomfort, or curiosity, often in ways that feel immediate and personal. Buyers are drawn to pieces that reflect their inner lives or resonate with experiences they cannot easily put into words. Living with art allows that connection to unfold over time, deepening as both the viewer and their circumstances change.

Art is also a form of self-expression. The works people choose become extensions of who they are, communicating values, taste, and perspective without explanation. In homes and public spaces alike, art shapes atmosphere, offering beauty, reflection, and moments of pause in an increasingly fast-paced world.

Beyond personal enjoyment, buying art connects individuals to culture and creativity. It is a way of participating in broader conversations, supporting artists, and sustaining creative communities. For some, art also carries financial value, but unlike traditional investments, it offers meaning alongside worth.

Ultimately, people buy art because it endures. It holds emotion, memory, and ideas in a tangible form, offering a sense of continuity in a world defined by change.

While in New York I was able to visit Rashid Johns While in New York I was able to visit Rashid Johnson’s A Poem for Deep Thinkers at the Guggenheim Museum. It  is a confident and visually commanding mid-career survey that embraces the scale and symbolism of the rotunda. Drawing on three decades of work, the exhibition unifies Johnson’s recurring materials grids, books, plants, and musical references. The central installation, Sanguine, successfully transforms the museum into a space of gathering and performance, reinforcing Johnson’s ongoing interest in community, vulnerability, and cultural memory.

While visiting New York I was able to visit Flora While visiting New York I was able to visit Flora Yukhnovich’s Four Seasons. This series of work reimagines the traditional allegorical theme through her distinctive blend of Rococo references and contemporary abstraction. Rather than presenting literal seasonal symbols, Yukhnovich evokes the moods and rhythms of the year through lush color palettes, swirling forms, and layered surfaces that suggest movement, excess, and transformation. Drawing loosely on art-historical sources such as eighteenth-century decorative painting, she fractures and reworks these influences, allowing figures and motifs to dissolve into expressive brushstrokes. The result is a series that feels both opulent and unstable, capturing the cyclical nature of time while emphasizing emotional atmosphere over narrative clarity. In Four Seasons, Yukhnovich uses paint itself as the primary vehicle for conveying change, growth, decay, and renewal.

This afternoon my mother and I went to visit the T This afternoon my mother and I went to visit the Turner and Constable exhibtion at the Tate Britain. It was amazing curation of works and the thought and story telling running through the exhibition was fascinating. 

J.M.W. Turner and John Constable, born a year apart, were Britain’s greatest landscape painters—and fierce rivals. From very different backgrounds, both sought to transform landscape art through bold but contrasting styles: Turner’s dramatic, light-filled scenes and Constable’s intimate, authentic views of familiar places. Marking 250 years since their births, this landmark exhibition brings their intertwined lives and legacies together, featuring over 170 works, including major highlights such as The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons and The White Horse. Seen side by side, it offers a rare chance to explore the achievements of two masters as they were once experienced in their own time.
