Figuration Libre

Figuration Libre

(152 works, 137 for sale)

Figuration Libre is an art movement that is equivalent to the French Bad Painting and Neo-Expressionism in Europe and America. The term was coined by Ben Vautier and the Fluxus movement. In 1981, Robert Combas, François Boisrond, Hervé Di Rosa, and Rémi Blanchard formed the Figuration Libre group. The term can be interpreted as free style art, emphasizing spontaneity, freedom, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions.

Hyper modernism

Hyper modernism

Hypermodernism is a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, characterized by an intense embrace of technology and a focus on speed, complexity, and the future. This movement often challenges traditional modernist values by emphasizing hyper-reality, where the boundaries between reality and virtuality blur. Hypermodernism is evident in architecture, design, and visual arts, where artists and creators use advanced digital tools and futuristic aesthetics to explore themes of globalization, identity, and the impact of technology on society.

Zero Movement

Zero Movement

(274 works, 244 for sale)

ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
