CONTEMPORARY ART
is a statement that an artist makes
about life, thoughts, ideas, beliefs
and many other things that define
human life.
It refers to art made and produced by artists living
today. Today's artists work in and respond to a
global environment that is culturally diverse,
technologically advancing, and multifaceted.
Working in a wide range of mediums,
contemporary artists often reflect and comment on
modern-day society.
It provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary
society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the
world around us. Contemporary artists work in a
globally influenced, culturally diverse, and
technologically advancing world. Their art is a dynamic
combination of materials, methods, concepts, and
subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy
easy definition.
