Trend that proposes original artistic expressions with innovative techniques
Contemporary Art is an artistic trend that was born in the second half of the 20th century, after the Second World War. Also known as Post-Modern Art, this trend began, above all, as the advent of Pop Art and minimalism.
A Arte Contemporânea brings together innovative expressions and techniques, which encourage subjective reflection on the work, presenting a break in relation to modern patterns, or which can be considered as the beginning of Post-Modernism.
Despite still preserving some artistic values of Modern Art, such as desiring artistic inventions and experiments, contemporary art presents a break with some modern aspects, helping to shape a new mentality in the artistic world.
The concept, the attitude and the idea of the work are most valued in Contemporary Art than, necessarily, the final object. As new artistic orientations, despite their differences, we share a common spirit: in short, attempts to direct art to the things of the world, to urban reality and to the world of technology.
As contemporary works articulate a diversity of languages, challenging conventional classifications, questioning the character of artistic representations and the very definition of art. Rather than contemplating the aesthetic nature, Arte Contemporânea seeks to subjectively reflect on the artistic work.
Consisting of a series of styles, perspectives and techniques, which can be manifested through painting, dance, music, theater, sculpture, literature, fashion, installations, the work is not an object in itself, because it merges with the process. creative
I propose artistic expressions originating from innovative techniques, in contemporary artistic interventions or in the environment worked by the artist so that they come to integrate into the work.
Contemporary Art endures today and, currently, its largest international showcases are bienais that bring together artists from all over the world, helping to highlight what is being produced in this area. It is estimated that there are nearly 100 bienais in cities such as São Paulo, Istanbul, Moscow and Sydney.
