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 watercolor depicts a dramatic scene in which several jockeys on their racehorses gallop close to each other in a fierce battle for victory. The horses are in full motion, legs stretched out, heads bowed and nostrils wide open, while the jockeys lean deep in their saddles. The decor is in shades of gray and white, giving the picture a monochrome and dynamic atmosphere.The color scheme enhances the drama of the situation: grays in different shades provide depth, while white areas emphasize light and speed. The background is implied and quickly disappears in the movement, so that the focus is on the bodies of the powerful, writhing horses and the concentrated jockeys. The blurred contours make you feel the energy and rhythm of the race.
