The Leading Art Trends That'll Claim Over the Art Space in 2023
The feature of art as a means of expression and representation is one of the features that makes it indispensable and vital. While conveying the subjectivity of its creator, art trends reflecting the significant issues, emotions, unrest, intuitiveness and possibilities that resonate with the masses continue to dominate the art spaces in 2023 as well. While it is possible to say that the art field itself has undergone a rapid transformation with the rapid incorporation of technology into the field of art in recent years, we can foresee by examining the rising trends that the relationship between art and technology will create a standard new definition for itself as a product of modernity's current situation.
Surrealism's legacy in contemporary art
Surrealism maintains its dominance in contemporary art while suggesting the mysterious and incomprehensible beauty of the subconscious mind, full of creativity and inspiration. With the perfect harmony surrealism has caught between rational vision and dreams, many of the world's leading museums, such as the Tate Modern in London and the Art Center in Seoul, include surrealism and its leading artists in their exhibitions. As a trend, surrealism draws its strength this year from works with a particular emphasis on collective emotion, politics and feminism.
Maximized Abstracts
As a product of modern freedom of expression, abstract art, with its striking effects, reflects its demands to be seen by the maximized scales. These works, which express intuitiveness with how the artists use shape, colour, form and line in their abstract imaginations, will be a trend this year, especially with their large-scale dimensions.
More Realistic NFT market
NFT, one of the most controversial areas of the art market in recent years, seems to remain the same in 2023, despite its biggest unknowns and all its tensions. But, on the other hand, while the echoes of the chaotic environment and market recessions of 2022 as it continues to resonate, this year will be the year of education, deployment and recovery of the NFT art market. Therefore, this year, which we can define as a period of recovery and realism, NFT's relationship with the art economy will emphasize social impact.
Virtual art, regardless of all the question marks
Digital art tools will continue to impact in 2023, although the question marks that many of us have created with the rapid shine of NFT in art and the chaotic process it has gone through in the past year. Although we could not prevent new possibilities in the blurring of the lines between the creator, the viewer and the artwork itself, which is perhaps one of the most significant impasses in virtual art, this is what makes it possible for investors and art collectors from many parts of the world to come together and share their art experiences in the digital universe. Technology will continue to be a trend.
