Contemporary Period

Contemporary art mirrors contemporary culture and society, offering the general audience’s rich resources to consider current ideas and rethink the familiar. The work of contemporary artists is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenges traditional boundaries and defies easy definition. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform organizing principle, ideology, or -ism.

In this time, culture and art became highlighted during the Marcos regime when Imelda Marcos thought of having a home for the arts, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines was built.

Nowadays because of technology and Filipinos freedom now in speech and expression, different styles of art appeared in this period like digital art, photography, junk art even a mini sculpture in a pencil tip is an art style now.

Art is also used to protest or express their feelings with a certain situation in the society or government with the use of editorial illustrations.

Art is also used not just for aesthetics and entertainment but also to bring awareness.
