expressive creations, has
garnered recognition through
an array of captivating
exhibitions.
PRINCIPLES AND ELEMENTS OF
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
Harmony: The artwork uses a balanced and visually pleasing

color palette.
Variety: Diverse shapes and lines prevent monotony.
Movement: Line direction and color transitions create a sense
of implied movement.
Balance: The two panels are balanced, although informally,
creating visual equilibrium.
Emphasis: Contrast between light and dark areas creates
focal points.
• Hybridity: The style blends gestural and controlled marks.
UMBER BREEZE I 2023
• Dante Palmes A multi-

disciplinary abstract artist with
an expertise in various media
from paintings to wooden and
metal sculptures.
PRINCIPLES AND ELEMENTS OF
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
Movement: The directional brushstrokes create a strong

sense of movement across the canvas, leading the viewer’s
eye through the piece.
Harmony: (browns, oranges, grays, whites), there’s a sense
of harmony created by the way they blend and transition
into one another.
• Rhythm: The repetition of the layered brushstrokes,
although not perfectly regular, creates a visual rhythm.
• Hybridity: The work demonstrates hybridity by combining
the fluidity of watercolor techniques with the bolder

University, Class of 1995, has

ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
Balance: The bonsai tree’s central placement creates visual

equilibrium.
Emphasis: The tree is the clear focal point, drawing the
viewer’s attention.

maintain a realistic representation of a bonsai.
Harmony: Cool and warm colors (blues/greens and browns)
are used together in a visually pleasing way.
• Rhythm: Repetition of branches and foliage creates a visual
rhythm.
• Space: Perspective and value changes (light and dark) are

• On view: The Museum of Modern Art,
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
DESCRIPTION
• The massive inflatable sculpture

dramatically alters the perception of space
within the grand hall. Its immense scale
dwarfs the human figures, creating a
powerful sense of proportion. The sculpture
interacts directly with the building’s
architecture, filling and transforming the
pre-existing space. The interplay between
the sculpture’s volume and the surrounding
negative space is crucial to the artwork’s
APPROPRIATION
SHEEP SHEARER 1990
• The painting on the left is the

original “Shearing Sheep” by Jean-
François Millet, painted in 1852-
1999. The painting on the right is a
copy of Millet’s work by Vincent van
Gogh, titled “The Sheepshearer
(after Millet)”, painted in 1999.
DESCRIPTION
• Van Gogh’s painting is considered

appropriation because it’s a
reinterpretation of a pre-existing
artwork. He used an earlier painting as
source material, transforming its colors,
composition, and mood, while implicitly
acknowledging the original work. This
act of recontextualizing an existing
artwork is the essence of appropriation.
ANDY WARHOLE CAMPBELL SOUP
CANS 1962
• Andy Warhol born Andrew Warhola Jr

(August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987)
was an American visual artist, film
director and producer. A leading figure in
the pop art movement, Warhol is
considered one of the most important
American artists of the second half of
the 20th century.
DESCRIPTION
• This artwork, Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans,” is

a prime example of appropriationThis artwork, Andy
Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans," is a prime example of
appropriation art because it directly takes pre-existing
imagery—the Campbell's Soup can labels—and presents
them as fine art. Warhol didn't design the cans; he
appropriated the existing commercial design. By
replicating the images in a grid format, he elevates
everyday, mass-produced objects to the status of art,
commenting on consumerism, mass production, and the
nature of art itself. The act of taking something
commonplace and presenting it in an art context is the
PERFORMANCE
COUNTING THE RICE (PRESENTED
AT MONA)
• Marina Abramović
• Her work explores body art, endurance
art, the relationship between the
performer and audience, the limits of the
body, and the possibilities of the mind.[1]
Being active for over four decades,
Abramović refers to herself as the
“grandmother of performance art”.
KALDOR PUBLIC ART PROJECT 12:
VANESSA BEECROFT 1999
• William Kentridge is a South

African artist best known for his
prints, drawings, and animated
films, especially noted for a
sequence of hand-drawn
animated films he produced
during the 1990s. The latter are
constructed by filming a
drawing, making erasures and
DESCRIPTION
• The image shows a darkened gallery space with

multiple screens projecting moving images. While the
image itself is static, it documents a video
installation, a form of performance art. The projected
videos are the performance; the artwork isn’t a
physical object, but the moving images and the
experience of viewing them within the gallery setting.
The darkened room and the focus on the projected
videos emphasize the immersive and temporal nature
of the performance, typical of video installations in
contemporary art. The viewer’s experience is central
TECHNOLOGY
SERPENTINE GALLERY
• Jenna Sutela is a Finnish artist based in

Berlin. She and her studio work with
biological and computational systems,
including the human microbiome and
artificial neural networks to create
sculptures, images and music
DESCRIPTION
• This is technology art because the

sculptures use advanced materials
and processes (likely resin casting),
have a sleek, technological
aesthetic, and conceptually engage
with ideas of artificiality, the body
as a machine, or the representation
of consciousness through the use of
transparent material and internal
GUSTAV METZGER, LIQUID CRYSTAL
ENVIRONMENT, 1965
• In 1961 German artist Gustav Metzger

became interested in the concept of
auto-creative art which uses
technology to construct processes of
positive change and growth. We can
see an example of this ‘auto creation’
in Liquid Crystal Environment.
DESCRIPTION
• This is technology art because it uses

digital projection technology as its
primary medium, creating an
immersive environment where the
technology is integral to both the
artwork’s creation and the viewer’s
experience. The projected images
likely involve digital manipulation,
further emphasizing its technological
