Contemporary Artists

The post-World War II era up till the present is usually regarded as the period of Contemporary Art. It includes various forms, genres, and aesthetic philosophies, making it challenging to understand completely. That's where Artsted comes to the rescue: in this article, we'll highlight contemporary art movements so you can completely comprehend this creative era.

1. Environmental Art (1960 – present)
Art addressing ecological challenges in a formal, political, historical, social, or aesthetic setting is called Environmental Art. The phrase Environmental Art, originally used to refer to Earth Art, has grown to include urban landscapes.

2. Identity Art & Identity Politics (1960 – present)
LGBTQ+ artists, women, and artists of colour have staged and shown experiences of self-identification and community via art since the 1960s.

3. Digital art (1965 – present)
Artists would use cutting-edge technology like computers, the internet, and a/v software for their artistic output in the digital era. Artists and inventors began to push art into new, occasionally virtual, worlds in the 1960s.

4. Street & Graffiti Art (1967 – present)
Any visual art produced in public spaces, particularly graffiti and often illegal murals, is considered street art.

5. Institutional Critique (1968 – present)
The process of conducting a methodical investigation of the operations of art institutions and their relationships to the advancement of art is known as Institutional Critique. The links between language, method, art consumption, and the viewer are the main topics of Institutional Critique.

6. Installation Art (1970 – present)
Contemporary art forms like installation art combine two- and three-dimensional materials to turn a specific location into an immersive environment for the viewer. Installations can be temporary or permanent and contain found objects, sound-based, performance, and sculptural components.

7. Relational Aesthetics (1996 – present)
Artwork that creates a transient atmosphere or event in which spectators may engage to absorb and understand the artist's message or concept is the emphasis of relational aesthetics.

8. Superflat (2000 – present)
Takashi Murakami developed the postmodern art style known as Superflat, which takes its name from the ubiquitous and traditional flattened shapes seen in Japanese animation, pop culture, fine arts, and graphic art. To examine topics like consumerism and sexual fetishism, Superflat juxtaposes conventional and contemporary approaches.
