Contemporary Sculptures

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.

Bufo Contemporary Bronze Sculpture Nude Boy Marble Stone Male Figure
Located in Utrecht, NL
Bufo Contemporary Bronze Sculpture Nude Boy Marble Stone Male Figure Wim van der Kant (1949, Kampen) is a selftaught artist. Next to his busy profession as a teacher at a high school, he intensively practises his profession as a sculptor. Only when his work would measure up to his own standards, he decided to present it to the rest of the world. In 1995, he exhibited for the first time with Morren Galleries. Van der Kant desires to sculpt young people who still stand uninhibited and curiously in life. The reason he chooses to sculpt boys is, because he is one himself, this way the subject is closer to him. The anatomy of his figures testify of perfectionism. Van der Kant's subjects show similarities with the sculptures from the Greek and Roman antiquity...

Red Anteater Large Garden Sculpture
Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
Red Anteater Large Garden Sculpture signed, limited edition #4/10, 84" tall Joseph Meerbott has been constructing bronze, metal sculptures, and ceramics for over 30 years. Schooled at Florida Atlantic University, with a BA in Fine Arts, his education covers a broad spectrum of artistic mediums. Influenced by the works of Picasso to Matisse, Meerbott sculptures embody the spirit of Pop Art. In his personal style, Meerbott transforms acclaimed two-dimensional post-modern works into dynamic three-dimensional sculptures. The results are instantly familiar yet firmly unique pieces of modern art. Joseph Meerbott utilizes welded aluminum as well as bronze for the creation of his sculptures. Meerbott uses urethane-based enamels to allow for his works to be exhibited in all locations, both indoor and outdoor. The sculptures themselves range in size, from the intimate to the grandiose, and can be built to site-specific requirements. 2000 - 2012 Featured Artist - Elaine Baker Gallery Boca Raton, Florida 2000 - 2012 Featured Artist - Collectors Corner...
