Contemporary Figurative Photography
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.

BASQUIAT photograph 1979 (Basquiat Gray photograph Nicholas Taylor)
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Basquiat and Gray at Hurrah's: New York, 1979 by Nicholas Taylor:
A rare, intimate look at Jean-Michel Basquiat's history as a musician - this work was one of four Taylor photo's chosen for exhibit at the much noted, Basquiat: Boom For Real exhibition at London's Barbican Centre. This work has been featured in numerous major publications on Basquiat.
Archival Inkjet Print.
16 x 20 inches (dimensions include a an approx 2 inch border).
Hand signed & numbered from an Edition of 10 (+ 5 APs).
Excellent condition.
Provided directly by Nicholas Taylor (represented by listing dealer Lot 180 Gallery NY).
Nicholas Taylor (American, b. 1953) is a renowned photographer and musician. Taylor moved to New York in 1977 to pursue a career as a photographer and it was through the vibrant New York art scene that he came to know the young artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. It was, in fact, his intimate portfolio of photographs documenting his friendship with Basquiat that rocketed Taylor to fame. The two would collaborate in the No Wave band “Gray” before Taylor launched a successful career as a DJ famous for track-looping (named DJ High Priest by Basquiat). His track “Suicide Mode” would later be used in the soundtrack for Julian Schnabel’s 1996 film “Basquiat."

The Turn - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 18x24"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
"The Turn" represents a pivotal moment in contemporary underwater fine art photography, where sculptural form meets fluid dynamics. In this arresting composition, a figure in vibrant crimson appears suspended between sitting and floating, enveloped by an explosive array of crystalline bubbles against a deep azure backdrop. The photograph masterfully captures the intersection of intentional pose and aquatic spontaneity, while the interplay of light through the ascending bubbles creates an ethereal atmosphere. This innovative piece transcends traditional portraiture, exploring themes of weightlessness and transformation that characterize modern submersible art, while the technical precision in capturing split-second motion elevates it to a meditation on human buoyancy.
This photograph is a part of the series "Blue Fall...
