Contemporary African Art (African Art post 5/10)

African art is characterized by a great diversity, whereas they make the use of forms and materials. Artists are still influenced by ancient forms of African art yet they make uses of new media and techniques with different touches and forms from around the world.

Today, new contemporary African art are being more visual around the world, yet the same goes to art from around the world to Africa after everything is being globalised, and media shares what’s on in the modern world, along with opportunities to travel became more constant in many African countries. Artists generally base on their heritage with a twist in modernism, yet in such as paintings they use the modern look where abstract and cubism is their main point, in the use of media, it have opened its way that everything can be used to create an art form whereas not only sculptures and paintings.
