When Joseph Tecson first painted in
prison, he was doubtful he would make
something good out of it. He painted
initially at the insistence of his brother
and because there was an urge to pass
time productively. That was the simple
reason. Each week, throughout the four
years and twenty days he was
incarcerated for a case he would later
be acquitted for, his creations, which
he considers a part of himself, would
get out and occasionally get sold in a
gallery.

Contemporary Art is a statement that an
artist makes about life, thoughts, ideas,
beliefs and many other things that
define human life.
Strictly speaking, the term "contemporary art" refers
to art made and produced by artists living today.
Today's artists work in and respond to a global
environment that is culturally diverse, technologically
advancing, and multifaceted. Working in a wide range
of mediums, contemporary artists often reflect and
comment on modern-day society.

Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists
who are living in the twenty-first century. Contemporary
art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary
society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the
world around us. Contemporary artists work in a globally
influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically
advancing world.

Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods,


concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional
boundaries and defy easy definition.
