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
Au mois de juin le festival de l'Inde (Ratha-yatra) a été célébré à Paris, et le Ratha-yatra annuel original a eu lieu à Jagannatha Puri, en Inde. Voici ma petite oeuvre dédiée à l'occasion. (Au départ, je voulais que ce soit juste une petite étude pour une plus grande peinture sur toile, mais cela s'est avéré un peu plus sérieux en soi.) Jagannatha, une forme de Lord Krishna, avec son frère aîné Balarama et sa sœur cadette Subhadra monte des chars colorés une fois par an pour se diriger vers un défilé festif, accompagné de centaines ou de milliers de dévots chantant et dansant. Le festival représente les habitants de Vrindavana ramenant Krishna dans leur village, après qu'il soit resté à Dvaraka pendant de nombreuses années. Peinture inspirée du style Pattachitra.
