Today we are living in a day and age when there seems to
be no dominating trend; or rather the trend seems to a
matter of: ‘Do what you like’. And this is why this age
is being considered the modern age – a time in human
history when there is no particular theme dominating the
scene, apart from the theme of the mind, as it is.
To explain this further, observe the modern art styles.
Is there any prevalent feature that comes to mind? None,
except for the fact that it is all-creative. The artists
are encouraged to put onto canvas the images of the mind
and then the art lovers are encouraged to enjoy the
artwork with no pre-conceived notions, but let their
perceptions result from spontaneity of vision contact.
The outstanding feature of modern day art is that there
is nothing monotonous in each painting, sketch or
digital artwork, etc. One can take a look at the artwork
each day with a new perception and understanding of it.
And most of the works are based on creating an optical
illusion that makes one meditate on the painting, rather
than concentrate. This is the primary difference between
modern art and the thematic art of the past.
However, this does not mean that artists do not practice
the old forms of art. There are those who do create
portraits, landscapes, seascapes, etc., in accordance to
the traditional methods. And they do have a high selling
value. So, another aspect of modern day appreciation of
artworks is that everything created has a market value
and there is space for so many more creations.
There are some modern art galleries that deal and
promote only this genre of art. The lighting and the
setting of such galleries are different from the others.
In fact, these galleries are flexible and permit
experimental types of exhibitions, or rather thematic
exhibitions. For instance, some artists have a poetry
reading session along with servings of cheese and some
beverage. The poems read relate to the paintings. A
point in note here is the art galleries of oil paintings
tend to shy away from modern art, because of the fact
that former is a more traditional and conservative form
of art, whereas the latter is more progressive and bold.
Modern abstract art is generally used for psychological
tests, because the perceptions of people viewing these
pictures help psychologists and psychiatrists understand
the mindset of their clients. For instance, for a person
disturbed a particular abstract picture may represent a
violent scene; whereas for an emotionally sound person
it maybe something representing vibrancy and life.
Another distinguishing factor that stands out in modern
art paintings is the use of vibrant and bold colors. Not
too much of the shading effect is used. Its more a play
of solid strokes. No matter what form of art, it is all
about creativity.
