Contemporary Asian art

Asian art, as we know, is highly cultural in theme and this is because among the 7 continents in the globe, nothing can be as diverse as Asia when it comes to its culture and tradition. Talk about a number of sects of religions present and we can already find the logic behind such diversity. Yet despite influence of this antiquity, art in Asia is also known globally when one seeks of contemporary art.

Don’t you think the Zen aesthetic design of Asia is not just confined in the continent per se but likewise for world-wide audience, as well? Talk about minimalism in this modern era and you have Zen style as an epitome. Art deco of Europe may be modernized but they are still revived from what is classic as opposed to the soothing and relaxing style of Zen that is very contemporary. Zen is Asian art’s very own—from garden, to house exterior architecture and interior design, not to mention you have pieces of fine arts that perfectly match it of whether they are meant to accent or to contrast. Abstract painting is expensive. Even the classic abstract of Picasso during his period stood out from the rest price-wise. If one comes to think of it, there are two high-priced sets in arts. One is antique while the other one is contemporary. Anything in between can be for sale or discounted in price even though art is a piece of investment and its value is meant to appreciate. Well, just like in any marketing, products of rarity and most often than not belonging from an aging collection may sound expensive and the new arrivals that have outmoded the previous ones are expected to be pricey, as well.

What is then expected from contemporary Asian art based from the aforementioned but to be very dear when we speak of its price! Nonetheless, because art now does not just anymore mean to serve the taste of the elite, many are on sale or are considered as affordable art to catch the attention of anyone up for artworks for sale.  The best part with Asian art is that you can still get a very cultural painting crafted in modern style in a price that is relatively low when we consider quality and rarity of its design and style.  And if cultural painting will be considered to make art contemporary and then a great number of these can be found in the net alone considering that each country has already varying cultures and traditions. And each artist embracing particular culture has different style to imbibe a contemporary style to what is supposed to be highly cultural and antique-looking piece.
