- Can you please tell me a little more about the art styles on display at your art gallery?
Contemporary art is the art of today, mainly referring to art that was produced from the 1950’s to today. According to Wikipedia: “Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, multicultural, technologically advancing world. Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that continue the challenging of boundaries that was already well underway in the 1900’s. Contemporary art can be eclectic ad diverse, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform, organizing principle, ideology, or "-ism". Contemporary art is part of a larger cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, community, family and nationality.”
