Transcripts
Contemporary art is one that refers us to the works created by artists
who live in this same era, that is, it is made up of pieces, installations and
proposals made by living artists. Contemporary art is, therefore,
a reflection of current problems, concerns, ideas and opinions, which are changing
and mixing in a world where one of its main characteristics is globalization,
which implies that processes and changes have an impact on all the world.
Contemporary artists use various technologies, techniques and disciplines to
explore the themes of their interest and communicate a message to the public, which is sometimes
codified, so it is necessary to know more about the context in order to better understand it.
If we broaden the definition of contemporary art a little more, it can be established that it
includes certain works that were produced between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.
Origin of contemporary art Contemporary art originated a
little after modern art, which was produced between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
But modernism does not refer only to a period of artistic production,
but to a particular style that distinguishes it from other periods, currents and movements.
From some perspectives, the aim of modern art was to challenge the nature
of the works of art themselves and approach artistic production with innovative techniques,
opposing academic art. The key in modern art was experimentation.
When contemporary art emerged, experimentation was taken even further,
leading to questioning the very definition of art and becoming a tool for making
social, cultural and political comments, accompanied by novel supports and very different
from those already seen in previous periods. Originally,
contemporary art developed alongside modern art, but today they are seen as
distinct movements. Since 1910, the Society of Contemporary Art was created and from
the 1930s, different institutions were opened that used the term.
The contemporary style became a style that was progressing and transforming,
adding different approaches to its study, and various currents of thought.
Characteristics of contemporary art - Contemporary art cannot be
defined by mentioning a single characteristic and this is one of its main features.
- Innovation is essential for this style of art, as it seeks to position new
artistic forms, formats and techniques are combined and ideas are implemented to
find new types of art and media. - New materials are used, employing
unexpected objects that were previously not considered to have the potential to be included in a work of art.
- Experimenting with new colors and textures, as was done during the modernist stage.
The themes are also very diverse. - Techniques become another
reason to explore and innovate. Conventional tools and techniques can be used,
which combined with experimental processes generate very different results each time.
Types of contemporary art Painting Contemporary
painting is a combination of abstract and figurative styles. Traditional methods
are implemented , looking for new effects. It is usual to work on cotton, linen,
metal or wood and to use acrylic or oil paints. There are some artists, such as
Anselm Kiefer, who also add objects that they rescue, which gives another dimension
to the work. Sculpture
Sculpture in the contemporary style is an art form that recovers the materials
used since ancient times, such as marble, wood or different metals. At the same time,
innovative materials have been incorporated that allow experimenting with different ideas,
such as Plexiglas or fiberglass. Some of the contemporary sculptures fall into the
category of hyper-realistic, since they reproduce human figures as if they were real beings.
Drawing Drawing was freed from
academic ties since the arrival of modernism, so the contemporary style
continued to experiment with this form of art and has been combining it with different media.
There are well-known contemporary cartoonists who have dedicated their careers to this discipline,
leaving aside the old idea that drawing was a minor art.
Engraving Engraving is a type of contemporary art
that allows works to be widely distributed, since their prices are usually lower,
making them available to more collectors. Engraving techniques have been perfected
more and more, which has allowed to produce works of great quality and full of details.
Collage Collage evolved from the 1500s,
but it was only in the 20th century that it began to be considered a true art form and
then earned a place among high art forms. This type of contemporary art builds
images from second-hand materials, giving rise to a new language with multiple
interpretations and possibilities. Digital
art Digital art is based on the traditional form of collage,
incorporating available digital technologies and software that have expanded the limits of
creation in this medium. For these pieces, photographs, digital retouches,
and in general images that are reused to create a message or a new image are used.
Photography Photography has been part
of the fine arts for quite some time, and with the arrival of contemporary art it has been reinvented. Today
contemporary photographers are an essential part of various exhibitions, and this discipline also helps others
to be able to record pieces that are ephemeral by nature, as is the case with performance.
Video art
Contemporary video art deals with telling stories through moving images. The artists
who experiment with this format usually have multidisciplinary profiles, that is,
they deal with various disciplines and activities that are intertwined. There
are also other video art artists who focus exclusively on film.
Installation The installation consists of assembling
three-dimensional pieces with one or more objects that form a spatial proposal with
which it is sometimes possible to interact. From certain perspectives, it is considered as a type
of contemporary sculpture, and today it is a very popular contemporary art style.
Land Art Land art
or Land Art is a type of contemporary art where the artist intervenes or interacts with the landscape,
resulting in a redesign of the environment. It can be presented on a small or large scale and generate
a great visual impact on the people who pass through or admire that landscape.
Intervention The intervention consists of acting
in an urban environment, inviting people to get involved with
particular situations, themes, messages and problems that the artists who intervene intend to pose. Interventions can be made
in all kinds of urban spaces, such as buildings, sculptures or bridges. This type of
contemporary art has an impact on the way people perceive their own environment.
Performance Finally,
performance is a style of contemporary art that involves scenic aspects, where there are no
particular objects, but events to observe. The work of art in this case is not
tangible, as it is a moment that viewers can witness for a period and
is ephemeral. Other disciplines such as dance or theater usually intervene in performance.
