Contemporary Arts
The artworks and styles of the past have evolved and have
adapted to a dynamic changing world, a world immersed in
the latest technology and emerging ideologies. These artworks
and styles are created, witnessed and experienced in our
lifetime by artists and style experts catering to Millennial and
Gen Z viewers, and techy clientele. These artworks are
collectively known as Contemporary Art.
Contemporary Arts

existing, living, or coming into being during the same period of time"
(Merriam-Webster). Assuming this definition, Contemporary Art refers
to art of any form and genre that produced in our contemporary time,
simply put as "art created today." It should not be confused with
Modern Art which ranges from the end of the 19th Century until the
1970’s or 1980's or the late 20th Century. It will put Contemporary Art
from the late 20th Century to the present. Modern Art differs from
Contemporary Art historically and contextually.
