Contemporary Abstract 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.

2023
Marilina Marchica was born in Agrigento, where she lives and works,
In 2008 she graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna.
Her painting tells the relationship between man and nature and their relationship.
"my landscapes are "boxes" of memories, day after day they welcome events and individuals who leave their mark and change their boundaries and appearance"
"Landscapes", evoked by a vision of reality bordering on abstraction.
In Marilina Marchica's landscape views, that tenuous dividing line between absence and presence invites the observer to expose unknown dimensions.
Marilina Marchica has been the protagonist of various Solo Exhibitions such as those promoted by the FAM Gallery in Agrigento, by San Sebastiano Contemporary - Casa Bramante in Palazzolo Acreide, Spazio HUS in Milan. In addition to the site-specific intervention designed for the crypt of the Church of Santa Maria del Piliere in Palermo, we recall the participation and in the artist residence at Villa Aurea - Valle dei Templi Agrigento
The works of Marilina Marchica have been published in sector magazines and volumes such as “The New Collectors Book” (New York, 2015) and are present in Italian and foreign public and private collections, including the Chiaramontane factories in Agrigento and the Museum of Trame Mediterranee - Orestiadi Foundation of Gibellina
Her works are present in numerous public and private collections
