Contemporary Art

One of the difficulties many people have in approaching contemporary artwork is its diversity - diversity of material, form, subject matter, and even time periods. Contemporary art, on the other hand, does not have one, single objective or point of view. Its view, instead, is refracted, prismatic, and multi-faceted. Reflecting the diversity of the world today, in all of its complexities, contemporary art reflects life as we know it. It can be, therefore, contradictory, confusing, and open-ended.

Motifs

The motifs were designed by using the word ’MoMA’ and squares. The architecture of MoMA is known for it’s the bold square shape. Each square symbolically represents the new MoMA’s feature - Modern art, Navigation, Dialogue Around Art, and Art-Making. Colors were inspired by the Museum of Modern Art’s representative colors of black, red, and white. I gave a hint of grey to each colors to keep them more freindly, yet fresh.
