Contemporary Islamic Art

In recent years, the attention paid to contemporary Islamic art has been increasing significantly among curators, art dealers, art critics, and collectors, mostly interested in the arts produced by artists who draw their inspiration from their cultural roots and artistic imagery.

Today, Islamic culture encompasses many different countries around the world, including the ones beyond the main concentration of the Muslim populations in Southeast Asia, in the Middle East, and in North Africa. The artistic integration arising upon the processes of globalization and the diaspora of Islamic artists towards Europe and the United States resulted in a repurposing of Islamic art through new media and, in some cases, incorporating extraneous elements against the dilution of their own cultural and artistic traditions.

Since the late 1990’s the art scene in Islamic countries witnessed a burst of artistic activity, expressing a renovated and realistic vision of local culture. A new generation of artists from a wide range of Islamic countries brought to light a provocative, controversial and persuasive discourse through the use of various media, such as photography, filmmaking, painting, installation, ceramics, digital art, video, and sculpture.
