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.

Anti-Art

Art created to challenge the very definition of art and criticize the field as a whole, ironically becoming a part of the artistic establishment and changing the field.

Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" changed the world of art forever and became a staple of Anti-Art, having taken an old urinal, wrote his name on it and submitted it as an art piece. This led to debates so heated that if it wasn't for "Fountain" and its nuanced use of found objects, modern art would be nothing like it was today.

Anti-Anti-Anti-Art

Rejecting the idea that a work of art needs to be explained in order for it to be a work of art.

I will decide what constitutes a work of art. I am the artist. I believe in Anti-Anti-Anti-Art.
