I have always admired pieces of artworks- no matter what they are and how they are made; no matter how peculiar or beautifully eerie they seemed to my eyes; no matter how dreamy and surreal they looked like. Sometimes you could feel this tingly sensation seeping through each living cell and network of veins in your body, and it went straight into the hole to your soul. You are in awe every time your eyes make contact with them. You are in love. This is what I felt every time I went to an arts gallery. But in the year of 2016 we can come across arts almost everywhere we go. You don’t have to visit certain posh places just to have a look at an artwork. By 2016, you can discover a myriad amount of unique graffiti and murals while walking on the streets in big cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Penang. You can have enough time to swoon over adorable drawings and cute letterings imprinted on the walls of a coffee shop; and make yourself cosy and chilled in a beautifully-ornamented café, as you spend your time reading your favourite novel while sipping on a cup of milk tea.

Eileen Miller said that “Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist.” Every person experiences emotion, and for some people these emotions are more prominent than they are for others. A great deal of those emotions are negative and make a person’s day to day life difficult to manage. Art is a beneficial form of stress relief and self-expression for several individuals.

From being a strictly specialist subject catering for a small elite, contemporary art has entered the cultural mainstream in an unprecedented way. This is, perhaps, where one can draw a line between ‘collecting art’ and simply ‘buying art’. Regardless of the motivation, a collector has a serious, eclectic and discernible approach to accumulating art whereas, in comparison, a plain buyer is a sporadic customer for who the value of art may not be the prime consideration while picking up art arbitrarily.

In Yo-yo Ma’s writing, “Necessary Edges: Art, Empathy, and Education”, Ma discusses the importance of integrating arts in society and education; this differs from Rhys Southan’s writing, “Is Art a Waste of Time”, for it talks about how the “Effective Altruism” movement does not see art as valuable because it does not make major contributions to society. Art is a tool used to communicate with people; this tool positively impacts contemporary culture, for it brings different cultures closer together, changes opinions, and it is useful in education. Art is used all around the world to express culture. The art forms created by different cultures are shared with one another, and this creates subcultures and links cultures together.
