why shouldn't I do this?

You do realize that modern art is actually an elaborate tax avoidance, money laundering, and value storage phenomenon, right?

And that the gatekeepers are gallery owners, who are veeeery selective about these things.

Sure do it. I mean all artists are rich right? I mean no one has ever heard of a "Starving artist". It's not like it's a cliquey world of status seekers more dependent on personal relationships than, well financial viability, or even aesthetic quality.

You should totally do it user, and also sign up for Tom Vu's program BECAUSE YOU NO A LOSER YOU NO LOSER

no

well I wouldn't do it for a full time job but it just seems so easy to make money on this because some of the paintings that gets sold really expensive doesn't seem too difficult to make

you don't get it.

these paintings have no value they are only bought to resell at a later time to evade taxes and pass them on from one country to another without paying taxes

How much knowledge, connections, spirit, initial capitalization and ability is needed to make these?

not much, a shitload, an unfathomable amount, a reasonable amount, hardly any

>why shouldn't I do this?

Because you forgot the most important part of selling shit art:

Attaching a random political message that Hollywood liberals love to fellate.

Make garbage art like an 8 year old.

paint "I hate Trump" somewhere on said garbage

A lot of knowledge of the art field. You can't just come and draw shit even if for ignorant plebs like you it seems that's what art is about. This piece of art has probably no meaning for you at all but if you knew the artist, how this piece is tied to his style, what his style is about, where is style is situated in the power struggles of the field of art, how political, how disruptive or incremental this piece is, you would be able to set a price on it.
Art, like any highly valued cultural activity is a way for dominant people to recognize each others, and to distinguish a hierarchy between them. The plebs with no culture (not the right one) and no money can't participate to this battle of power. The newly rich (wealthy but no culture) can't participate, he will try but his lack of knowledge will be seen and he will be dominated.

Delusional is the correct word.

People like Banksy know exactly who they're selling to and play you fucking fools like a fiddle.

Oh that banksy.... sooo sooo edgy

Try it faggot, you won't know unless you try.
Stop making these threads and start actually doing something.
Start drawing, don't worry about tools.

If you actually manage to create something (instead of quitting after 10 min) then please post a pic in this thread.
I'm curious if you got any talent.
Surprise us with ur creativity, imagination, and discipline.

THIS.
do it then. fail. possibly learn something. get outside and off of your computer, and stop crapping up our board.

OP are you a white male?

If so, this strategy will not work.

I get that you're just trying to trash modern art, but you really don't understand it even a little.

Art is just a store of value for rich people. It's a way for them to transfer wealth across borders tax-free. It can appreciate, it can be a good financial investment. If anything, modern art is most similar to bitcoin.

because you need to be a socialite butterfly

You're right there's absolutely no way this could fail

What about a toilet that silences farts, so people don't have to hear you shitting all over the place and make a world a better place.

You'd have to be dead for your art to be worth anything

If it doesn't generate you money while you're asleep, wanking off to cartoons, or fucking thai shemales up the ass, then it is not a good business idea.

Not true
