Passionism

Passionism is the first French artistic movement of the 21st Century, and the first movement in the history of art to be spearheaded by women and followed by men and women worldwide. Lauched officially to the public at the Forum de Nice in 2002, it was created by Cat Moss and metcuc in 2000. By now, thousands of artists worldwide are proud to call themselves Passionists.

They are painters, musicians, filmakers, writers, sculptors, and dancers with a common drive: passion. A passion for the process of creativity, not the result. Passionist art comes from the heart, not the head. It is born independently of the will of the artist, with no pre-planning or founding concept. Thus, Passionism is the antithesis of conceptual art, seeking to bring art back to what it was originally about: the fruit of passion and beauty.

Passionists see art (in all its forms) as a drug. Given a choice between food and paint, a passionist painter chooses paint.
