- New Haven-Meriden, CT (1888PressRelease) July 20, 2010 - Join First Contemporary Art (www.firstcontemporaryart.com) in highlighting current subjects used in contemporary artwork. Whether it is a beautiful landscape or a simple umbrella, First Contemporary Art encourages pieces celebrating subjects of all shapes, sizes and depth. The goal is to scour the globe, finding the best contemporary artwork and providing affordable art for consumers that are interesting in buying.
Contemporary art is all art produced since World War II. Generally exhibited in galleries by private collectors and publicly funded organizations, contemporary artwork has been constantly evolving since its beginnings. It is no longer just a genre filled with paintings, photographs and sculptures. The scope of the artwork has kept up with the technological advances in mainstream media, with newer artists spawning movements in digital art, new media art, virtual art and even video game and street art.
Many of the newer contemporary artwork tackles 21st-century issues like the onslaught of consumerism. One such artist, Chinese painter Wang Guangyi, uses some of his works to show and contrast older anti-establishment ideals and newer, consumer-driven desires. The paintings from his 1998 "The Great Criticism" series encompass this dichotomy. "Wang stages conflicts between classical figures of propaganda and the onslaught of luxury consumer goods. His work is the perfect representation of where we've come from, and where we have quickly and comfortably placed ourselves," First Contemporary Art said.
This month, First Contemporary Art is actively involved in MADRIDFOTO, a contemporary art fair held at Palacio de Deportes in Madrid, Spain focusing on contemporary art prints. It features works by photographers represented by galleries worldwide.
With a spotlight on international contemporary art and a passion for providing affordable artwork for the every day citizen, First Contemporary Art's goal is to make pristine contemporary artwork available to all art enthusiasts. "We realize that to some, especially those new to quality works, this genre may be unfamiliar or confusing. But we encourage people to give it a try, and we'd love to see more consumers buy contemporary art."
