Does this make us all artists? It’s very unlikely, but one thing is for sure, the line that devides it is getting more and more blurred and Art has definitely left the museums and democratised itself. A sign of the times.Maybe we’ll experience some resistance to call Jeremy Mayer an artist. It’s arguable. It’s a fact that he’s someone without a formal training in this area, he’s self-taught, that is. But that doesn’t really matter and didn’t stop him from venturing into this world. He started out by trying out other artistic areas, from design to hiper-realist drawing, from molding to foundry. Finally, he seems to have settled for typewriters.
