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 travers de ce fragment iconographique stylisé du sacré se résume toute une violence qui s’est étalée sur des siècles. Le fait initiateur est brutal, un bref événement dans l'histoire, une crucifixion avec en arrière-plan un coin de ciel bleu, la liberté... Avéré ou métaphorique, peu importe, pour le prophète qui porte en lui cette contre idée de répression, le fait influencera l'humanité sur plus de deux millénaires. Pour un clou dans une main, c'est l'effet papillon, le petit détail qui va soulever la révolte et faire disparaitre des empires. A l'inverse de l'idée de fraternité prônée, la violence religieuse déclenchera des guerres et fera qu'encore aujourd'hui certains préfèrent rester reclus pour s'abriter du monde et de sa réalité intrinsèquement violente.
