Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Contemporary painting

From prehistoric times to today, painting remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists around the world. In addition to representing a field of contemporary art, it constitutes a means of expression with multiple forms. Indeed, the brushstrokes illustrated on a painting hide a concept or a subject. Whatever the theme you are looking for, ARTactif presents a wide range of contemporary paintings.

Contemporary art, contemporary painting: what is it about?

According to chronology, contemporary art follows modern art which was initiated between 1850 and 1945 by the impressionist movement. Contemporary art is therefore any artistic movement born after the Second World War. Pop art, graffiti art, Fluxus, Street art and digital art are examples.

Description
The acrylic painting "Unexpected Headlines" depicts three people looking at a newspaper together with shocked and amazed expressions. The color palette of the painting is in brownish-yellow tones, suggesting an atmosphere of times and the past, as if the scene is taking place in a faded historical context. The soft, warm tones enhance the intensity of the moment, catching the light to gently illuminate the characters' faces and highlight their emotions. This enhances the dramatic impact of their reactions to the headlines. The use of yellow and brown creates a unifying mood and makes the painting feel like an old photograph, capturing a pivotal and surprising moment in the lives of the people depicted.
