Participation in exhibitions
is an inevitable path for every painter.
A painter, at least a relatively successful one, cannot escape the market and the recognition of others.
A Van Gogh-like life cannot be called happy.
When you ask those who knew Van Gogh to evaluate him during his life, it's difficult for them to connect that eccentric, down-and-out painter with the great artist.
Of course, true masters might not actually care about this.
But if we measure by the world view of ordinary people, achieving fame and success and being adored by thousands is every person's life expectation.
Even if you don't equate art with market price in a vulgar way.
The sense of gain and satisfaction from being recognized and appreciated by others cannot be replaced by luxury cars and beautiful women.
The Biennale is one such art form where painters can gain fame.
As the name implies, "biennial" (every two years), an art biennial is an art exhibition held every two years.
