・What is conceptual art?


Conceptual art refers to works in which the concept (conception, idea, message, etc.) contained in the work is emphasized when the artist creates it.

It is said to have reached its peak in the late 1960s and 1970s, and it expanded worldwide.


Although it is often referred to as contemporary art, conceptual art refers to artwork that reflects the artist's own ideas and concepts.

③ “Mirror image”

Description of the work: A mirror image of the self. When I saw it in the crisp natural light of the morning, and when I saw it in the darkness before I fell asleep. When you look at it from a distance, and when you face it head-on... The way a work looks and feels doesn't always look the same. A mirror image that reflects one's own deep psyche gives us time to face ourselves and reflect, and allows us to notice feelings that we have overlooked. By using different paints depending on the reflectance of light, the work has a different impression depending on the viewing angle.

This work was drawn by artist Sizzle . I feel an overflowing power from Sizzle's works, which are created to visualize abstract concepts that cannot be expressed in words.

④“Heat source ~Fuente de calor~”

[Motif] Lion

With a simmering heat source and a blazing flame

Burning away the many difficulties that stand in front of me

Pushing forward on the royal road like a lion

【concept】

Based on the concept of ``Believing in the possibilities and living in the present,'' we incorporate the two elements of the past and the future into various motifs to express the present. Furthermore, I believe that by having hope in the various possibilities accumulated through past experiences and the uncertain future, and living positively in the present, we can create the power to envision our ideal future.

This work was drawn by artist idogaeru . All of idogaeru's works, which are characterized by their bright colors and detailed patterns, are overwhelming. Please take a look at other works from the artist details page.
