SURVEY

A reference to Contemporary Art meaning “the art of


today,” more broadly includes artwork produced
during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It
generally defines art produced after the Modern Art
movement to the present day. However, modern
artwork is not just art produced during a specific time-
frame. This genre of art does have its own approach
or style that distinguishes it from others. The art of
the Philippines had been influenced by almost all
spheres of the globe. It had the taste of the
Renaissance, Baroque, and Modern Periods through
the colonizers who arrived in the country. Philippine
Contemporary Art was an offshoot of social realism
brought about by Martial Law. Arts became
expression of people’s aspiration for a just, free, and
sovereign society. Since the Japanese advocated for
the culture of East Asia, preference was given to the
indigenous art and traditions of the Philippines.
Contemporary art is important in Filipino lives. It is so
important because every contemporary art reflects
someone’s feelings, ideas or perspectives. Through
contemporary art, Filipinos can express themselves
in a way that will be safely observable for others. It is
a means of personal expression.
