Most creative work is made to a brief – so is fake art in film actually ‘fake’?

The film The Christophers, starring Ian McKellan, features 16 'fake' artworks by painter Barnaby Gorton. This compelling scenario sparks a vital discussion: when art is made to a brief, is it truly 'fake'? It's Nice That insightfully argues that commissioned work, whether for film or a client, is inherently creative and valid, often indistinguishable from gallery pieces in its artistic merit. For emerging women artists, this underscores the vast, often untapped, potential for your work beyond traditional exhibitions. Embrace collaborations and briefs as legitimate avenues for showcasing your talent and building a sustainable artistic career. — Source: It's Nice That
