What does it mean to be an artist in an age where everything and anything is available all the time? 

​

The availability of information has dissolved many social and geographical constraints, allowing artists from any class or part of the world to share and indulge diverse interests.

 

Yet, with this proliferation of ideas and expression comes the death of the Modernist belief of the Artist as a divinely talented entity working in isolation outside the boundaries of the known.

 

Unlike Modernists of the early-mid 20th century, Artists making work today do not attempt to invent culture from scratch, but rather reorganise and rearrange it, creating the new from what has come before and what is immediately around them.

​

The Artists featured in this gallery fit into the category of the Postmodern. In a process known as Recontextualization, they take inspirations from diverse sources and present them in a new and unexpected light.
