Is Art in Everything and for Everyone?

" I see how it could be art,
but I know why it is not.
A trial of expression:
layer upon layer;
till one no longer sees
the light.
Curating failures and
failing curation
all at once.
Nevertheless,
I sentence you to be,
even if I shall not. "

-Shady Maher

Nowadays, it is very hard to put strict borders around certain definitions, especially in extremely subjective matters such as “Art” and “Mode”.

Everyone can see everything, ever since the outburst of ridiculously fast communication methods; one can travel to the other side of the world and come back to enjoy his meal in his cozy diner just with a turn of a page, or a swipe of a screen. And, certainly, everyone can criticize everything, and, of course, compete in anything. With such a wide scene and a huge range of competitors, styles are flourishing, expressions blooming, and infinitism in creativity is non-stopping.

I personally find it very hard to enjoy any of my meals with this much info-noise surrounding me. Constant stimulation of things that are beautiful, or maybe just interesting, keeps me from enjoying the serenity of my tasteless rice and beans.

Here my question arises: is it the problem of my rice that it's tasteless, or am I just disappointed because I know there is certainly a tastier burger waiting for me to order it via my smart "order dot com", or even just a better version to my beans by a “Certified Master Chef”.

The question of whether my art is good enough or simply rubbish is not important anymore, as the answer to this is simply dependent on another person’s view. And sometimes even I could be this shattering critique to myself, which mostly happens when I compare myself to other much better, or sometimes just more mature, artists.

On the other hand, not many really discuss the benefits of art for expressing your unexpressed emotions and ideas. Rather, The feat seems to be judged today by its superficial beauty, which is not totally wrong, yet it's not all that it is to it. Or, anyway, it's still a subjective matter, there are no real definitions here, again…

It all narrows down to one's perception regarding other people’s art: Are you looking at art to understand or to be critical? Just like eating your awful platter, do you eat it because it's beautiful or because you need to survive? Of course, it wouldn’t hurt to enhance your cooking and artistic skills, but until you do so, just embrace what you can afford.

And to answer the question in the title.

No.

Art is just for those who want it, wherever they want it. The rest can make a delivery.
