The beauty of art is that it can be whatever you want it to be. We often think that art needs to convey some important message or translate into complicated emotions and feelings, but artists like Nick White are here to remind us that art should also be fun and playful.

White’s art can be described as silly and there’s nothing bad about that. He plays around with forms and materials, saying that “making people laugh brings [him] a lot of joy.”

Try not to feel happy while browsing through his art!
