I’m wierd. I know. Any contemporary paintings anyone would care to offer their explanation of that might spark a new interest for me? I love meaning in art.
The Abend Art Gallery in Denver has Awesome artist named Zoe Ace, she is great. Totally contemporary. Whimsical, Flippant art that jogs your mind. She has many works, all different, but you can tell it’s her work when they are separate, too!

I’m writing a paper involving artists who have commented on human violence in some way through their art. I’ve already written about Andy Warhol and his Gun series, and Roy Lichtenstein and his works Whaam, Blaam, and Takka Takka.
I’m struggling to find another contemporary artist who has works I can write about. Thanks for any references you can give me
How about Francisco Goya and his work, La Guerra? (Translates to "The War")

Or you could write about Pablo Picasso’s famous Guernica

what are the subjects that help contemporary art to sell successfully these days?
For example, I could paint a beautiful picture of a horse, but there are probably lots of people doing this already and its not neccessarlily catching the buyers imagination. How do you get inspiration for original work?
I get all my inspiration form the one and only Tony Hart. I’ve displayed and sold several painting created by filling empty washing up bottles with poster paint and suspending them from a piece of string and swirling it round and round on a large canvas. I then get a small Plasticine character to walk over it and generally mess it up. Everyone a masterpiece. I also get people to send in the their best paintings, (which I’m unable to send back) and palm them off with £2.99 box of gouache from Woolies. I then sell the best ones as my own work and watch the money roll in. Happy painting. If you are keen on the horse try chopping it in half
I need to do an essay on contemporary artists. Is he a contemporary artist? because he was producing art in the contemporary period
Well, he’s dead, so strictly speaking he’s not contemporary, because he’s not working right now.
However, the word is also used by professionals to describe art produced since World War II, so I think you’re in the clear.

We’re very excited to share our latest project with you all; “Life Line” by Brooklyn Based Stencil Master, Logan Hicks. (www.workhorsevisuals.com)
This print will be available at www.jetsetgraffiti.com on June 9th, 2010. Release is at 12PM PST, 3PM EST, 8PM GMT
Known around the world as one of the hardest working artists alive, Logan is among the most talented contemporary artists today. His vision is exacting, and his standards are extremely high. After months of discussions, we decided to use a special Liquid Graphite Pigment with Silver Flake to provide the solid slate-like feel that Logan wanted in this print while maintaining a sense of depth and variation that is so important to his artwork. The results are striking. As a special variation for the collectors, we also printed 15 with Gold Metallic inks.
More info. available at www.jetsetgraffiti.com/printsforsale/
The edition was created at Modern Multiples Studio in Los Angeles under the supervision of Master Printer, Richard Duardo. Video Edited by Kevin Chapados, Directed by Chunwoo Kae, Produced by Daniel Lahoda for JetSet Graffiti Productions in Brooklyn, New York.

No Picasso or da Vinci please. Maybe contemporary artists, but if a renaissance painter is truely your favorite, go ahead. Thanks.

I have studied many of the great portraitists of the past such as Gainsborough. I would like to know which contemporary oil painters are considered the best today ? Also do portrait artists today use only oil or are charcoal, pencils, and pastels used ?
There are a LOT of greats out there – depending on which artist you ask you will probably get completely different answers based on who they are acquainted with and what their background is.
A nice long list of names is available through the New York agency Portraits, Inc. and they represent truly superior talents, so you might check out their web site. www.portraitsinc.com
You may also contact a few well-known galleries that can connect you with good prospects, including the Forum Gallery and Hirschl & Adler, both in New York.
You can get portraits in any medium – some artists have favorites or specialties.
At this level, be prepared to throw down some serious bank, but it is really worth it.
