Contemporary Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
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.

Undefined by medium, Celso Castro’s works each carry the presence of the artist’s hand through the transparency of their process. Castro’s oeuvre is strongly divided between his photomontage assemblies and watercolor paintings: the prior is marked by the labor-intensive deconstruction of portrait photographs and the latter, by the seemingly frenzied recreation of a past encounter rendered in the drips and scribbles of paint and ink. Both discriminating in what they reveal of the subject, his photomontage and watercolor portraits exude raw sexuality through the combination of Castro’s mark-making and gaze. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo foray into the underbelly of Colombia’s drug world. Castro’s labor-intensive, photo-collage works of drug kingpins, smugglers, hitmen, countrymen, street vendors, soldiers, paramilitaries, kidnappers, and pimps pose showing with pride their erect penises...

Love is in the Air ultramarine blue nude couple by Paula Craioveanu
Located in Forest Hills, NY
“Love is in the Air”. Nude couple in embrace. Original drawing with blue ultramarine tempera on paper.
Size 27.5x19.5in / 70x50cm . Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Shipped rolled in a tube, well packed. Get free shipping with 1stdibs code FREESHIP for items over $500.
"Love is in the Air" is a deeply romantic and dynamic piece that introduces a fresh energy to the artist’s series. The depiction of a couple in an embrace, set against the context of a beach, departs from the more introspective and solitary works we’ve seen, celebrating connection, movement, and passion instead. The use of ultramarine on ochre paper enhances the emotional resonance, with the warm-toned background adding a sense of vitality and balance to the cool blue tones.
The ochre background imbues the piece with a sunlit, earthy warmth that contrasts beautifully with the intensity of ultramarine. This palette evokes the ambiance of a beach—sun, sand, and the vast blue expanse of the sky and sea—further immersing the viewer in the setting.
