His art is highly accessible though, you don't even have to go to a gallery to experience it because it's right there in the world. There's nothing to get, it's just beautiful, has a huge sense of scale and having so much bright color of the same shades entering your eyes is something you'll likely only experience that one moment if your life.

>The goal seems to be to get people to think about the question "what is art?"

Couldn't be further from the truth, I think you'd really benefit from visiting a gallery and seeing some work in person. You don't really experience art from the pictures and looking at is so cynically as to having a take of "admiring how they swindled money".

Really to me art is more like a theme park for adults but you're closer to it, it can be designed to give you good sensations as well as bad and the thing in front of you has no reason to exist outside of being a piece of art but I'll remember those experiences for the rest of my life.
