Contemporary Abstract Drawings and Watercolors
CONTEMPORARY STYLE
Used to refer to a time rather than an aesthetic, Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. This immediacy means it encompasses art responding to the present moment through diverse subjects, media and themes. Contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, performance, digital art, video and more frequently includes work that is attempting to reshape current ideas about what art can be, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s use of candy to memorialize a lover he lost to AIDS-related complications to Jenny Holzer’s ongoing “Truisms,” a Conceptual series that sees provocative messages printed on billboards, T-shirts, benches and other public places that exist outside of formal exhibitions and the conventional “white cube” of galleries.
Contemporary art has been pushing the boundaries of creative expression for years. Its disruption of the traditional concepts of art are often aiming to engage viewers in complex questions about identity, society and culture. In the latter part of the 20th century, contemporary movements included Land art, in which artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer create large-scale, site-specific sculptures, installations and other works in soil and bodies of water; Sound art, with artists such as Christian Marclay and Susan Philipsz centering art on sonic experiences; and New Media art, in which mass media and digital culture inform the work of artists such as Nam June Paik and Rafaël Rozendaal.
The first decades of the 21st century have seen the growth of Contemporary African art, the revival of figurative painting, the emergence of street art and the rise of NFTs, unique digital artworks that are powered by blockchain technology.
Major Contemporary artists practicing now include Ai Weiwei, Cecily Brown, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Kara Walker.

Located in AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FR
Drawing, Charcoal, Pastel and Graphite on archival paper.
Work Title : "Bords (series)"
Artist : Fabien Granet (FR)
The work is signed and dated on the back. Unique work.
Work Size : 20x26cm. Framed (26x33cm) with Museum Glass, Wood and archival material
Born in 1970 the artist lives and works in France.
The majority of his drawings and paintings are inspired by the wild landscapes of Brittany in France.
" The drawing as a gesture allows me to exploit a (re)mise-en-scene as so many possibilities in the making. Through the quality of drawing as a marker of thought, it is not a question of constructing "dream worlds" but rather of setting up a device that would allow for a conscious dialogue of a certain perception of the real."
Fabien Granet is pursuing a research on the perception of the landscape, on our ways of trying to represent it, to understand it, to understand its structures.
The drawn "landscapes" are thus as many projections of the artist, which convene and reveal his artistic path, the influences of his culture, his utopias, his dystopian fantasies. Another shift where the quasi scientific concern of objective rigor and the mental construction of an construction of an individual course. The drawing appears in this sense as an act as much as a work which The drawing appears in this sense as an act as much as a work which is registered in a research and a quest to pierce the enigma of the real.

Bittersweet Cephalopod
By Jenny Brown
Located in Boston, MA
Bittersweet Cephalopod, Original Contemporary Abstract Nautical Mixed Media Work, 2018
11" x 8.5" (HxW) Collage and Pen on Paper
With clear inspiration from natural botanicals and oceanic life, artist Jenny Brown combines found imagery and her own mark making to create delicate yet bold designs. This work features an ocean-inspired creature taking shape from a combination of paper ephemera on a coral colored piece of paper. Fine white lines and small white dots emerge and scatter around the composition, bringing the work to life.
Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed.
Artist Commentary:
The Unique Bittersweet Cephalopod is a creature of Jupiter's sunset seas, not yet found in any other part of the universe. This work was created with antique collage materials and pen on paper.
About the Artist:
Jenny Brown is a visual artist living and working in Providence, Rhode Island, whose primary mediums are drawing, collage, and works on paper. Her work brings to life a mythical world of sea creatures and celestial beings, realized through her love of paper ephemera. Jenny studied art at Bennington College and received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2005. In addition to working with galleries in New York, Providence, and metro Boston, Jenny has collaborated with brands such as Hudson-Chatham Winery, Sheaffer Pens...
