It could be said that Western art produced today is more innovative and imaginative than in the past. I previously discussed the trend for modern creators of paintings and sculptures of Western art breaking away from the traditional.
An article in a magazine recently listed the top10 western artist to watch in 2009. The magazine referred to these individuals as “rising stars on the horizon”. One of the artist listed was landscape painter Jill Carver. A picture of an oil painting by Carver, Colors of Autumn, was included with this article. This picture reminded me of the way a landscape would look in a dream.
Contemporary artist, Will Pope is another artist whose work definitely takes a new direction from the traditional. Pope refers to himself as a “postmodern landscape artist”. Pope is unconcerned with accurate renderings of figures or objects. Instead, Pope includes imaginative animals, people and symbols in his landscapes.
