topic art

Art that is based on a particular theme or item of current interest to society. The theme or topical item is usually trendy or transient. Typically, topic art is portrayed as being creative, but really, it is not at all original. Considered a juvenile art form. While it can describe art that is good, topic art is more generally a derogatory term.
Artist: "I use mixed media including commonly available household items like recycled string and kiwi juice cartons. I believe in global warming and my art express this."
Mark: "You mean you tie your mom's garbage together then bring it back into the world as art. I'm an artist too: you're a shithead so let's recycle your throat into a turd-sleeve."
Rachel: "I hate topic art."

Antic Art

A term defining art created using surreal cartoon images.


an·tic(s) (n. A ludicrous or extravagant act or gesture; a caper) adj. Ludicrously odd; fantastic.)

art (n. Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.

When you hear the word Antics, perhaps it might bring to mind the actions of a cartoon character. This association goes well with the nature of this style of art. A cartoon character's actions are typically comprised of both the bold and the outlandish. Likewise are the images of this art style. An art that boasts a sort of dream like cartoon extravaganza, birthed from surrealism and fathered by pop. The true origin of this art is a mass conglomeration of the surreal, the pop and the mass media both vintage and current.
Some famous and up and coming artists of this genre would include
Jim Woodring, Shag and Voodoo Velvet to name a few.
