"Ego Art" is a long overdue term coined by Artist Timothy John Cody, of Long Island, New York. It has roots in modern art schools such as Dadaism, and Expressionism.
The term is used to describe an art form which utilizes and recognizes the ego's role in the production of art. Ego-art is a method for rediscovering the true nature of self, and identifying the ego's control over the artistic landscape. In duality, the Ego and the Self struggle to be heard in the artistic process. Ego Art is either the elaboration or the realization of The Egos power over our lives. It seeks to damn culture, consumerism, materialism and Desire, with an edification and exaltation of the Self. Holistic oneness.

Any work of art that deals directly with Egocentric ideals or fallacies. (e.g Habitual conditioning, insecurity, fears).
Ego Art is a complex elaboration and attempt to realign the artist or the audience, with the felt presence of experience. Ego Art is in a way, a rejection of the Ego, and an empowerment of Self. By understanding the confining nature of the ego, one can overcome and realize it in their everyday lives.
Very simply put. "Ego-Art is never the ending battle between the Self and the ego to define the nature of reality"

Get the Ego-Art mug.Virginia Beach, VA artist Dragon Randy Holder, the author of “Ink In The Hood” Tattoos for darker skin worked on developing an URBAN TATTOO ART form and style and it is a dramatic change in tattoo art style concepts, it is the introduction of an new urban cultural art, a bold art style discovered during a four year in-depth study. During the study I used as a combination of creative guiding concepts for the process for the urban tattoo art design and application. Guided by my understanding of the Da Vinci methodology of art and science and a desire to understand the hidden aspects dark skin tattooing while approaching the tattoo art designs using a the concept of Art Synectics.
I sought to develop a variety of tools and techniques to help me visually express artistically the ideas, feeling and values of individuals with dark skin in the form of tattooing. Driven by my passion for art and always seeking to be more skilful I was inspired into an exploration of an immerging Urban tattooing art movemeny as a recent entry into the American tattoo art movement, "the African/ Black American tattoo consumer."
My development of the Urban Tattoo Art is a deliberate pictographically focus on specific cultural themes, such as religion, family, music, artistic style, and new art movement, Art which speaks of the African/ Black American as a cultural social-political-spiritual movement with a understanding of the motivations and a deliberate position of the tattoo art as a form of body art which shows a cultural afflation within the community as a means of permanently marking an aspect of their culture and way of life in a pictographic self expression Urban art style in the form of body art in the flesh.
Urban Tattoo Art is notable evolution of the America’s social anthropology of the African/ Black American community, a transforming and empowering through trend setting designs, a new Urban art movement with deep Cultural influences which has immersed itself in the community and is now part of their social transcending through an community art movement Urban Tattoo Art.

This new bold Urban Art Tattoo style uses the shades of dark skin as a cornerstone of the art design process, seeking to reveal the divine nature of the skin tones and tints and hues, creating a framework for discovering the hidden artistic beauty, not one artistic approach but the cohesive combinations of many styles and cultural influences into a new one flowing from the skin in lines, and highlights and shadows and beautiful color all merging into an pictographic art-form Urban Tattoo Art.

Get the sword art online mug.A movement that came after post impressionism that explores recognizing a painting (or sculpture etc...) as an independent entity, rather than an illusionstic creation or "window to another world" Artists would explore with color, texture, and the appeasement of the human eye rather than a particular rendered image. Modern Art was also greatly related to music- many woks were called compositions or improvizations rather than having titles like "the annunciation" or other traditional imagery in artwork. Frequently confused with contemperary art which refers to current artists. Artists include Kandinsky, Pollack, etc.
