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.

This work is unique, this is not a print or other type of copy.
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery)
"The Two Kinds of Life" is a thought-provoking artwork that eloquently portrays the intricate tapestry of existence, emphasizing the interconnected nature of all living things. The painting explores profound themes such as the value of life, the significance of our actions, and the inevitability of mortality.
In this artwork, the artist uses a blend of vivid and muted colours to represent the dual aspects of life: vibrancy and vitality on one hand, and the somber inevitability of death on the other. The vibrant areas of the painting might illustrate flourishing life, symbolizing joy, growth, and the potential for positive impact. These sections are interwoven with more subdued tones, representing the finite nature of life and the quiet approach to the end.
Through "The Two Kinds of Life," the artist conveys a message about the importance of making a meaningful impact while we are alive. It suggests that despite the inevitable end, the true measure of our lives lies in the legacy we leave behind, the lives we touch, and the positive changes we bring about in our world. This duality invites viewers to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can contribute to the world in a meaningful way before their time comes to an end.
In essence, "The Two Kinds of Life" is a poignant reminder of our mortality and a call to action. It urges us to appreciate the preciousness of life, to live fully, and to strive to make a positive difference, ensuring that the impact of our existence reverberates long after we are gone. This artwork not only captures the beauty and complexity of life but also serves as an inspiration to embrace our capacity for change and to live with intention and purpose.

"Christmas Decoration" - Abstract Midwest Town Painting by Hiroshi Sato
Located in Denver, CO
Introducing Hiroshi Sato's "Christmas Decoration," an original oil on canvas from his compelling solo exhibition 'Midwest', which runs from April 26 to May 14, 2024. This piece, measuring 26 x 30 inches, is an exploration of the Midwest, painted against a backdrop of the Christmas season. The artwork is vibrant, utilizing abstract strokes to convey urban and rural dichotomies and the pressures of modern existence, reflecting on our ceaseless digital engagement. "Christmas Decoration" is unframed but ready to hang, offering a poignant glimpse into the modern American landscape through Sato's distinctive lens.
Artist Bio & Statement:
Hiroshi Sato was born September 1987 in Japan. From the age of three to fourteen he spent his childhood in Tanzania. While there, he recognized where he lived was not home, and where he called home was some place he hardly ever knew. From a very young age, he understood he was not a participant of his surroundings. Therefore, his role was of an observer. This recognition and his exposure to alternate cultures, class, wealth, language is his backdrop to his interest in perception and how it is explored in the singular image.
He enrolled in the fine-arts program at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, graduating with a Bachelors and Masters in Fine Art.
Hiroshi Sato is focused on contemporary realist oil painting. He is best known for paintings of figures in an interior environment. He draws influence from past and present artists including Vermeer, Degas, Andrew Wyeth, Euan Uglow, Hopper and Chuck Close. Sato’s work shows his interest in geometric design principles of the old masters and is currently exploring the simultaneous illusion of form and flatness in space. His goal is to portray, and better understand our various states of consciousness within ourselves through the visual medium.
Hiroshi Sato’s work has been featured in various publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Juxtapoz Magazine...
