Let me know you a little about it. Its important to know what "contemporary art" really is to truly appreciate it.
The term is loosely used to refer to art of the present day. Artist who are living in the twenty-first century work in a culturally diversed world.Working in a wide range of mediums, these artist reflects and comment on a modern society.
Q/A session with Amira Brown.
Q1- The first question is probably the most ask by many: At what age have you started making art and what motivated you to keep going?
AB: I’ve been making art since I could hold a pencil but stayed motivated by my skill as well as the lack of my skill. Now I’m motivated on how I far I can push my skills and techniques over time.
Q2- Could you please tell us more about yourself and your art practices?
AB: Well, My subjects mainly revolve around figurative abstraction and how I can apply the paint in varied and new ways to reflect the personality and qualities within. I started out as an illustrator and used that background as my push off point.
Q3- What about your style? How did you develop it and are you happy with what you've got so far?
AB: Lol, I don’t think I’ve ever been happy with the style I’ve developed because the minute I settle, there’s another way I want to experiment and expand on my work.
" ALL DRESSED UP"
Q4- I find that having an artist to admire is very helpful in developing one's art skills! Who are your top fav artist?
AB: Right now Trenton Doyle Hancock, Tschabalala Self, Devin Morris and many more.
Q5- What about themes of your paintings? Can you tell us about your inspiration?
AB: My inspiration mainly comes from contemporary art, nature as well as the objects and items in my environment.
Q6- Have you finished art school? How important do you think they are? Or you're self taught artist?
AB: I have finished art school and I’m now pursuing graduate school. I think art school can be useful to some and sometimes not others, but I think there are many alternatives to the traditional route now that can get you where you want to go.
Q7- Do you come from an artistic family?
AB: Actually yes! I have many creative family members who draw, paint and design, or if they don’t do those, they express it through other means. It makes me very happy to continue that lineage.
"OVER GROWN"
Q8- How would you describe your personal style to those who are unfamiliar with your work?
AB: Loosely humanoid and very textural and symbolic.
Q9- Which current art world trends like (inktober) are you following?
AB: At the moment none really, just focusing on my craft. I used to before while in school and it was always a great exercise.
Q10- Anything else you would like to share with our readers? Anything motivational some tips or info ideas or wishes?
AB: Don’t be afraid to try and implement new ideas, and fail faster so you can grow faster!
