Contemporary Female Art With Us

Feminine art is the new topic of 1990s and also a 'post-modern' topic which attracts wide attention among the contemporary arts. This does not negate the outcome contributed by the feminine artists in the previous years, but to say that their arts in those years do not present sharp-outlined feminine characteristics, therefore, it is hard to make judgement using the angle of Gender. But with the entrance into 1990s, female artists gradually showed their identifiably special angle different from the male artists. They did not any longer create works using the standards and formats already set by the male artist. They started to build up consciousness based on the recognition of their own gender and to find their own value from the different natures of the two different genders. When they begin to use the female angle and their own experience to interpret the world, their works do not only stand separately from the male artists', but also from the works of the female artists of any other eras. It is just this practice which makes possible the feminine art and gives the feminine art brand new contents and 'post-modern' colours.The contemporary feminine art covers far more than a single style marked as soft and courteous demonstrated by the traditional female artists. In their works, we can see both the artistic style linked to the traditional taste and the styles which deliver the comparable power with the male artists in the design itself and the visual effect. No matter casting focus on the world using the individual-based angle from inner, or challenging the exiting rules, unveiling themselves, expressing differences of the two genders, or the attitude of caring about life, creating and thinking with more sensation, visual intimity in choosing forms and media, the works are poetic, lyric, romantic, aesthetic, and also mystic, sharp-minded and realistic. What the contemporary artists present us is a broad view of artistic sight. But in the diversified ways of thinking and skills of creating, we can still see some characteristics in common, which makes the feminine art a discussible topic.
