TRENDS AT ART BASEL MIAMI 2014

Via Jessica Johnson's Facebook page:

December 8 at 1:11pm · Houston, TX, United States ·

If anyone is interested. Here's the art trends that were evident in various combination over every booth at Art Basel Miami.


- inkjet prints on canvas using imagery sourced from the web
- decorative fabrics wrapped around stretcher bars and presented as paintings
- rainbow gradients
- compounds poured on canvas with airbrushed shadow effects
- simplistic emoticon imagery (palm trees, rainbows, clouds, smiley faces, etc)
- clumpy ceramics with sloppy glazes
- exposed stretcher bars
- dirt as a medium on canvas
- framed photographs without glass
- process abstraction
- metal as a surface for painting, screen prints, etc

 

What was absent;
- video art
- neons
- work with any political content (or any content that wasn't about process and/or materials)
