Aren’t you bored of doing the same old thing over and over again? At some point, craving something different from the good old methods is completely natural especially in creative fields such as the art industry. This is when art trends are the best thing to go for! When it’s time for a change, trends are the perfect medium to get out of your funk and try something new for a change. They can either provide a completely new method or medium of art, or they can include a small element that might help you improve the way you create your artwork. So, here’s a small list of art trends for 2023, 2024, and beyond!
Top art trends that artists should look out for in the future
1. AI art
AI is one of the largest technological advancements we have ever seen. This is among the new technologies that can be used in any industry, including the art industry. In the past few months, you can see many people, including the industry’s elite, creating art through AI to experiment with art beyond its borders. Read our blog on AI in art to learn more about how AI in the art industry is changing the face of art today.
2. Virtual art
Virtual art, in simple terms, is art which people can interact with. This form of art is expected to be created in two forms: one in virtual reality and the other in actual reality. For instance, consider the 4D theatres we go to for movies. In this, we get to not only watch the movie but also get the feel of being in it. Similar to this is what virtual art will include. But when it comes to virtual reality art, it can be anything such as VR or AR goggles through which people get to experience art in the digital world.
3. Art & science merger
Art and science are known to be the two faces of the same coin, but they are believed to be in constant contrast with each other. To bridge this gap, in the following few months, many artists are expected to merge science with art, especially when art with AI is becoming the new form of art. Many artists are stepping out of their boxes to create something unique and creative, one of which is art with science.
4. Street art
Street art has been a part of the art world for decades. But what changes in the upcoming years is that street art will be everywhere, from graffiti on walls to architectural masterpieces around the world. Besides this, it is also expected to become the main means of expressionism, especially in the case of artworks activism.
5. Collaborative art
Did you know that there are art influencers on social media who collaborate to complete an art piece? This is not just in the sense of ideas but also the art piece itself! An artist on Instagram created half of the painting on canvas and shipped it off to another artist across the globe to finish the artwork. They kept their audience in suspense and engaged by posting one half of the painting on each of their social media accounts. Such digital collaborations are expected to become the new art trend, especially with social media becoming one of the most prominent platforms for artists to showcase their artwork.
6. Sculpting & ceramic art
Sculpting and ceramic art are some of the few handmade arts that are all about touch and feel of piece. With immense popularity among Gen Z and Generation Alpha about handmade things, these forms of art are expected to be the new art trend. This is because of the uniqueness each art piece possesses which is also in the favor of the protests that are against mass production, where the artistry of sculpting and ceramic art is lost among them.
7. Minimalistic art
The aesthetic is the ultimate trend in art. Many people who purchase art these days are trying to buy pieces that fit their minimalistic aesthetic, whether it’s in their homes or their office spaces. For that reason, this form of art is expected to become a trend in the art industry in 2023 and the upcoming years.
Art changes every few decades. But even though there are many art forms that emerge through those years, the traditional methods of creating art do not diminish but rather get enhanced through the various elements of innovation and technology each year. Exploring various art forms and art trends provides you with a medium for taking a deep dive into the creative world. Whether you hop on the trends or stick to your traditional methods, what takes precedence here is that you keep furthering the art world.
