Realism
Realism is an art movement that emerged in the mid-19th century. It rejects romanticism and seeks to represent subjects truthfully, without artificiality or exaggeration, often focusing on everyday life, ordinary people, and the natural world. Realist artists paid close attention to the effects of light and shadow on objects and scenes, contributing to the illusion of three-dimensionality.
Realism by Jim Thalassoudis, ANDO, Donovan Christie, and Shannon Camden.
Portraiture
Portraiture is a genre of art that involves creating a representation or likeness of a person. The aim of portraiture is to capture the physical appearance, personality, and sometimes the essence or inner qualities of the subject. Portraiture has played a significant role throughout history in documenting important figures, such as leaders and cultural icons.
Portraiture by Joshua Miels, Franko, Pete Conroy, and Kai Hagberg.
Illustration
Illustration is an art form that visually communicates a concept, story, or message. From detailed scientific drawings to whimsical children’s book illustrations, this art style encompasses a wide range of techniques and mediums that vary significantly depending on the purpose, audience, and personal style of the illustrator.
Illustrations by Rochelle Toomey, Max Horst Sokolowski, Ross Morgan, and Judy Morris.
Surrealism
Surrealism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century after World War I. Surrealist works often combine unrelated or contradictory elements in unexpected ways. Works often depict fantastical, dreamlike, and sometimes bizarre or absurd scenes. This creates a sense of dislocation and challenges conventional notions of reality.
Surrealism works by Patricia Van Lubeck, Daria Andrews, Samira Khadivizand, and Vanessa Stefanova.
