You seem to see art as the product, I see it as a state of mind.
Art doesn't require an audience, it is beyond praise or criticism because it is an insight into the mind of an individual, and no one (not even your beloved Brian Sewell) has the right to comment on the work unless it is to express their own, individual, aesthetic opinion on how the work affects them and them alone.
No one's opinion is any more or less valid than anyone elses when it comes to art because we are all unique and have our own unique perceptions, and these perceptions help to form our opinions.
If the artist is happy with the work, then the art is good. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

GOOD art has everything to do with talent, process, skill, technique, etc. EVERYTHING.
Art is not just about the image presented, but also about HOW it is presented, how it was made, etc.
ART
IS the product. Otherwise everyone is an artist in their own mind, which is BULLSHIT. eve conceptual art was actually the words used to describe the concept, not a thought in someone's head.
NOTHING is beyond praise or criticism. that is naive and childish. In the real world, anything you create is up for criticism and analysis.
