The Runaway, Norman Rockwell, 1958

As we approach the beginning of a new year, I, like many others, am prompted to look back on the experiences of 2025. Throughout the year on this blog, I've explored various art-related subjects and their tangible impacts on our lives. We've delved into how art influences our perceptions of death, spirituality, and sexual desire.

We've looked at how our view of nostalgia impacts art and vice-versa, talked about capitalism and conspiracy theories and how both these things are looked upon through the lens of our art.

One topic I'll be covering is the recently sold artwork that is composed of—quite literally—nothing.

As our world keeps changing, so does our art. Whether these changes are positive or negative is yet to be determined. So get ready, because 2026 is on its way!
