Contemporary Nude 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.

"Moonlight", Figurative neon painting by Olha Vlasova
Located in Zofingen, AG
ITEM DETAILS The edges are painted Some parts of the picture glow under blue light The painting was part of an exhibition 'Ancestral call' in Switzerland ABOUT THE ARTWORK On this canvas is the portrait of a woman deeply immersed in her inner emotions. Her thoughts not only accompany her but also shape the world around her, infusing it with explosive passion and glow. This woman doesn't just exist in her space - she creates it, reflecting her deepest emotions and thoughts. The inspiration for this artwork comes from an intimate moment of experiencing feelings of love and uncertainty. It's a time of sweet longing for a loved one when the heart is filled with anticipation of meeting and dreams of a future together. The artist behind this painting invites the viewer not only to observe what's on the canvas but also to experience these emotions with the protagonist. It's an invitation to rediscover those warm feelings of budding love, to feel love and empathy, and to embrace the possibility of being sensitive and open to the world. ABOUT ARTIST Olha Vlasova...

Journey Home: Preserving Serenity, Figurative painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
Located in Zofingen, AG
"Journey Home: Preserving Serenity" by Tetiana Pchelnikova is an embodiment of her continuous and profound contemplation of the role of women in society, expressed in visually rich works imbued with symbolism and philosophical resonance. This piece from her "Existence" series carries the magic of intuitive understanding of the feminine essence, intertwined with themes of eternity, self-identification, and a deep connection with nature. In this work, Pchelnikova employs a mixed technique of acrylic paints and oil pastel graphics, creating a multi-layered visual language that embodies her vision. The canvas size of 50x50 cm with gallery stretching . This piece deeply reflects the artist's philosophy, where the woman is seen as the conduit of noble strength from past generations and the creator of family strength. It portrays the woman's journey towards self-discovery and maintaining inner peace, despite the challenges of the external world. Through her creation, Pchelnikova invites the viewer to reflect on the importance of connecting our past with the present, bridging tradition and innovation. This work opens a pathway to a deeper understanding of the modern world through the prism of philosophical ideas such as Existentialism and Phenomenology. "Journey Home: Preserving Serenity" is not just aesthetically appealing but also a powerful medium for reflection, self-discovery, and dialogue with the world through art.
