Contemporary Painters. Ukrainian Painting

The term «contemporary painters» can be understood differently, it may be used to define the art produced at this present point of time or the art produced since World War II (museum collections of contemporary art usually imply the art produced since World War II). Contemporary painters exhibit their painting at commercial art galleries, private collectors, publicly funded arts organizations, contemporary art museums. In general, there is a common concern since the early part of the 20th century including modern and postmodern periods about what constitutes art.

When it goes about contemporary art as of the art of the late 20th century and early 21st century this term includes such artistic movements and styles as pop art, op art, color-field painting, photorealism, happening, land art – the styles that arose during the 1960s and 70s in painting, sculpture, and other media. These movements appeared as a rejection against utopian socialism, social detachment, optical formalism of modernism. This postmodern art became known as an art without a uniform organizing principle or ideology.

One of the changes introduced by postmodern art is blurred distinction between painting and sculpture. The artists used nontraditional materials, and since the 1960s shaped paintings and painted sculpture have become commonplace. Contemporary artists also began to use newer spaces and places as arenas for the frequently ephemeral work.
