At some point, every artist has to choose:
Keep making work that gets likes.
Or make work that actually says something.
This is an episode about the quiet uprising.
The moment you stop painting for the academy.
The moment you realize you’re not burned out from doing too much, you’re burned out from doing too much that means nothing.
We start with a true (and strange) story from 1863, when fourteen painters staged a creative rebellion and changed the art world forever.
And then we bring it back to you. To now.
To that feeling you get when you scroll your own grid and wonder if any of it matters.
If any of it’s even yours.
This is The Revolt.
Not with swords. With silence.
With risk.
With art that doesn’t beg for applause.
