Neo Baroque!

Amidst the minimalist backdrop of Post-Modernism, a new type of art is emerging. Aglow with brilliant colors, dizzying arabesques and spectacular ornamentations of gold and sparkling crystals, it is also dark with provocative narratives and difficult subject matter. This art is evolving in a radically different way from modernism: as a sensibility rather than a specific style. A visual feast for the senses, it is infiltrating everything from painting, sculpture, video and photography to performance and installation, creating a dazzling new cultural signature of the times. This is Neo-Baroque!
Artists tapping into the Neo-Baroque sensibility who are discussed in this book include Petah Coyne, Ann Craven, Angelo Filomeno, Robert Longo, Emilio Perez, Alexis Rockman, Takagi Masakatsu & Saeko Takagi, Fred Tomaselli, Nicola Verlato and Kehinde Wiley.
