Most worthwhile art is done by people who look at life as a different type of quantity. Whether valued higher or lower, the different outlook is really what makes for interesting art.

... Or even, dare I say it, look at life as quality not quantity, as something unquantifiable? (You could have chosen a less contentious example of a meritorious practicing artist :-)

  I'd say just the concept of Russian Roulette is art in itself. Thereby the artist I referenced above is not very contentious. He is risking his life for a message - that gamble with life is art. On the same note, what may be more contentious is the art of crime. The art of murder. The art of Sherlock Holmes deciphering the creative tendencies behind the craftiest of criminals. Murderers. Thieves. Are terrorists also artists? That my friend, is contentious.
