Incredible Laurent Proux! The hidden sensuality and the fusion of colors, light and nature is extraordinary!
I agree 100%. Thank you for tuning in!
Thank you so much for another wonderful exploration into the world of contemporary art!
I have to be honest; I never understood abstract art, likely because it was never a part of my classical education. I am, however, highly interested in ex/impressionism and symbolism in figurative art. I am particularly intrigued by Kar's work (due to my love of the macabre, no doubt) as well as Asker, Demunter and Proux. I look forward to hearing more about them and their work.
That's great to hear. Thank you so much for tuning in and wishing you all the best!
As an Art Collector and researcher of 20+ years and with over 200 works of art in my collection, I was relatively unimpressed with this viewer offering of this art ! I am not too excited about and with the contemporary art world and market these days I am hoping there will be a major shift in the market and artist's creations in the future. But to each their own, Art collecting is a very subjective personal activity that collectors want to share with others but when money status and name notoriety come into play the artist's creations may end up and tend to be degraded as so many artworks are today utterly rubbish.
A truly great list, well curated
Thank you so much!
Francesca Mollet really like. It feels like she turns off her consciousness when she writes works.
Great overview! Thanks a lot! 🎨
These artists are amazing and inspiring. Thanks you.
Thanks for this. I've always loved art, now at age 66, I am only two years into making my own. I'm ravenous to see more art, especially contemorary artists. Of this group Frederic Anderson is the one who speaks to me. I like how he starts with imperfect canvasses. When I started I used lots of ink and water on sketchbooks that couldn't fully handle it. My next painting started from the bleed through of the previous one. Now I'm using sturdier materials but still on the lookout for the acidental or synergistic connections between works. Love his mark making. I will definitely be following Frederic Anderson. Thanks for this chanel.
Also 66 and have been creating visual art for 14 years. Best Wishes
Hi there, thank you for tuning in, for your interesting comment, and for following the channel. Frederic Anderson is a stunning artist-I cannot get enough of his work. Mark making is very interesting and trending indeed, and I plan to create a video for this topic specifically in the foreseeable future. Wishing you all the best with your work and stay in touch!
the last 2 are the best for me. #7 feels like cinema, and #8 just has such a strong sense for light and life
Thank you for tuning and sharing some interesting thoughts here, I appreciate it. Cheers, Julien
Proux, Ahmed, Asker, Mollet & Demunter. Absolutely class ! Thanks alot. Your taste in painters has rejuvenated me after i was baffled by a recent ropey spruth magers visit last month. I could see myself liking Frederic after a viewing in person similar to how twombly worked over time.
That’s great to hear! The artists you mention really make you want to paint. As a painter myself, that’s what I love the most perhaps. Thank you for tuning in!
Thank you for doing these videos, they are an inspiration to me and have helped me define who I am as an artist and who I want to be.
Great to know about these marvelous artists. Good job
That's great to hear, thank you 🙏
Perfect. Reliable narrative.
Interesting list. Good to see the emphasis on painting and in particular gestural, painterly work. Quite at odds with what you encounter in many funded public galleries (at least here in the UK!).
Absolutely! So refreshing to see interesting new painterly languages. Love it.
Hi Chris, thank you for tuning in. Paradoxically, institutions with public money our most often out of touch with the public. Thank you for tuning in as always!
love it! will you make an upcoming photography artists too? would be great!
Congratulations, some of the art works shown here bring a sparkle of hope in contemporary art.
Ironically, some art works shown here also have the exact OPPOSITE affect.
@@TheKnightOfVenus 👍🏻😅You are right, ironically ? ..I would say most of the “stuff” called art it’s simply an insult to human intelligence .I CanT remember why I made this comment ,it must have been something unusual, but I certainly agree with you .
Impressive list.
Everyone has the right to their opinion, I suppose, with your only 8. I mean, surely you’re not thinking that we haven’t been seeing better art or artists. Will continue to be a channel lover.
As an artist I am concentrating on social issues and artivism, with topics such as global warming, economic injustice, Paris UN agreement and neurodegenerative diseases with an art project uniting neuro scientific research with art. I receive a lot of public praise for my approach to art. The message can be appreciated by most,being that’s my choice rather then the aesthetic which is so individualistic. Selling and galleries is more difficult, but I can support myself and for that reason I will keep going on this controversial path. I have the privilege of affording this choice.
Thank you for tuning in and for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Wishing you the very best!
Everything in this word is about arts if you are about to cry that's an art the way you lough that is art also
I LIKE VERY MUCH--THANKYOU
A wonderful selection of artists.
Thank you so much!
Great artist all! I see in your choices the CAI path/program as described in your video’s. Being unique and descriptive of current events; personal, social-economic, political. Crafting a niche that disrobes oneself from commonality. That others know to whom the work belongs. All these artist have this. For some there are esthetic references to the past but placed in present contemporary language. The dialect well framed in thinking of the day. I think there will always be this referencing. The appropriation of themes that go unnoticed so indelible they are to our consciousness. We take from before and create after but in truth we filter everything through the 20th century. My god what and era that was!
Hi Daniel, how have you been? Thank you for tuning in and sharing your interesting thoughts once more. You're absolutely right-this is exactly what makes great art, which will translate into great art market results as well. Wishing you a great day!
Hello Julien yes doing well thank you. I’ve been working in my art space (Benicia Historic Arsenal Park art studios) for 25 years this year. Absolutely love what your doing keeps me dialed in to current trends and events. Yes will keep posting as CAI compliments my efforts. See you in upcoming videos all best!
Wonderful, stay in touch! @@DanielLopes-jt8yl
Not into abstract work but interested to hear of Asker..... thanks
Start!
Starting very soon!
"To convey and communicate raw experiences on a purely emotional level." Damn I'm going to use that one.
And make it yours! Give it your own personal twist.
do any of these sell their works by the pound?
Important information
It would be cool if one day my name was on something like this 😊
Peace.
exelente
Thank you for tuning in 🙏
You forgot to mention me😊 BEST upcoming Artist from Africa (Botswana)
Go for it 💪
please time stamp the dogs movements. and thanks for the articulate intro
Kortrijk in de huis ;-) Lovely city i lived there a few years ...
Absoluut, lang leve Kortrijk!
The second guy does shit that looks a lot like my paper towel when I wipe my pallet knife on it .
Demunter kind of reminds me of paula rego, great work
this might be too egregious a request, but I'd love to see maybe a spotlight or some focus on Latin American artists if possible! you have a keen eye for new artists and I know the LatAm scene is growing a lot lately :) cheers!
You have the best cohost
Demunter: all those heads! your pup seems to be commenting on the art 🐶 💤🖼️
She does 😂🐶
Start
Very soon!
Here is a 9th artist.Not known but probably better than most here Max De Winter
#3 is amazing , you almost lost me at #2
Tape a paintbrush to my belly button and wait for the wet dream.
Proux seems to have a primitivist Rousseau influence? 🤔
Absolutely!
🤩
The art world has lost its * mind. Love wins. Love you all art people. You are the best. Blessings. Peace. I've seen proof God is real!!! He intends for your life to be positive! If it's not, seek Him, & He will help make that happen, no matter the circumstances around you. LOVE sounds like a great goal. I'm going to do a painting about LOVE today... & self worth from God's LOVE... because I pray what to paint, & that is the same Word I heard 3 times.
Thanks for your serious work.All ils interesting , but the mots advanced is : Alia AHMAD.
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for watching and leaving a comment 🙏
You forgot me😂
Even if my spelling is not correct that's the way of my expressions
You forgot the 9th one, me 😉
Go for it 💪

What a shame that the success of real artists depends so much on the gabbling skills of critics who cannot draw!
Art critics can be catalysts for the career of an artists, but never make something happen out of nothing. Never underestimate the power of the public. These eight artists are lauded by small private collectors first (and most of them draw really well).
Some critics are born to an understanding. In the same way Artist are are. It’s a curious subject not only for it’s implications, which we know. Still that kind of articulation is a poetic bridge. Good or bad, right or wrong the discourse has practical purpose.
Oh dear 😬
Love your videos. Just fyi Nguyen is pronounced more like “noo-win”
It's actually pronounced 'win'
Not sure why but you forgot Sipho Mabona, Swiss-SouthAfrican abstract origami artist.
All people in this world is a free to become artist do you understand your not a jury regarding to the arts
Could do better on Ebay.
I am one of the most important artists in history. There hasn't been a movement in over 35 years, I am the next movement.
What's your movement called?
@@frankreynolds3851 I don't know because it doesn't look like anything that's been done, many bodies of work. Simple too, nothing that looks like merchandise or a gimmick. Just acrylic on canvas, wood or paper. I've invented 3 elements that will change the future and past modern and post modern art. It's all in storage. I'm going through a legal action right now, when that's done I'll show what I've been keeping a secret for 15 years. NYC or Miami. I used to show 20 years ago but I stopped because this new work, 100s of pieces and an infinite number to come. I don't stare at a blank canvas and wonder what to do, I typically work on 10 pieces at a time. I don't know? Trying to explain this is like trying to explain a song you've never heard. It'll be out there in the next 24 months. Some bodies of work, the style can be used by other artists adding their own subject matter. Other bodies of work are to unique to do that.
@@frankreynolds3851 typically the art industry comes up with the terms of what a movement is called. I have no idea what to call what I do.
@alphajava761 do you a have a link you cam attach to view any examples of your paintings ?
@@frankreynolds3851 I don't. These ideas are fresh and I want to keep them secret. I'm sorry if I've made this confusing. I'm subbed to over 100 art sites and comb Google for years just to see if anyone at expos or galleries or anywhere is doing anything I've done. I'm stuck in this legal action and once I'm free from that I can get this done, I'm very frustrated about not being able to move forward. I guess one thing I can say is that I've reinvented abstract expressionism, I guess that's the closest I can get to one style/body of work I have. I work in all subject matter though depending on the body of work. I can sit in a chair with my eyes closed and think of endless paintings and sculptures, this started when I was 12 years old some sort of channel where I instantly saw everything differently. I know it's weird but I like it. It's also extremely frustrating because I can't get it all done.
How about creating video about 50 young painters or 50 young sculptors that are making strides in art. Or how they started their journey...
Ahmad is extraordinary, the others as well. It's Anderson I can't understand what he's doing here, the man can't paint. When you have to explain the meaning of a line, then something is very, very WRONG...!!!
Agreed brother.
Not a fan of paint slap on canvas. It will never be art as art is on purpose not abstract. IMO
While interesting none of them appeal to me. All the side talk about materials and whatnot seems pretentious and irrelevant , like most modern art. I believe art is meant to inspire awe, and wonder and a sense of beauty which is completely missing here. Sorry, not an expert so make what you want of it.
Personally, I find a lot of beauty, awe and wonder in the works of the selected artists. Thank you for tuning in and for sharing your honest thoughts here 🙏
I agree with you. All of this is pretentious junk! There are 60 million people in the world who can painter better than these people here. I guess the secret to success is not to paint beautifully but to invent some kind of different looking crap.
You manage to say a lot of nice things about "art" that my 3 year old does a better job at creating. Modernism is the death of art.
Yet, the "art" is a lot more original than the 3 year old reference you're making. Art is a feast. If it's not your cup of tea, that's fine. But let people enjoy whatever they enjoy. Focus on what you enjoy the most without decrying others. Nevertheless, thank you for tuning in and wishing you a great day
Do you truly enjoy it... or have you been socialized to enjoy it. I love figurative art, & paintings that look like creepy gray squashed clay as the reference--- no color... Only a socialized mind it seems could see the Emperor's New Clothes in it. Love wins. Blessings. @@contemporaryartissue
Ummm, all paint is made from minerals in oil painting.
I should be on this list
Ist leider weitgehend uninteressant. Vielleicht mal ein bisschen weniger auf die Reputation der etablierten Galerien schauen, sondern ein bisschen mehr auf die tatsächliche Qualität der ausgestellten Kunst. Macht natürlich sehr viel mehr Arbeit ,.mal die " kleinen" Galerien zu durchforsten und kostet evt. Sponsorengelder. Sie sind nicht der Einzige, welcher den Kunstmarkt und seine Mechanismen durchschaut 😉.
CAI is independent platform and our opinion can not be bought. Not once have I accepted money to include an artist in our of our top lists or emerging lists. The selected artists are in my opinion utmost interesting and relevant, and most of them were exhibiting at smaller galleries in 2022 or 2021. Is there art no longer interesting because it is being picked up by better galleries? So I am afraid I must disagree strongly with every part of your comment. Nevertheless, thank you for tuning in!
I agree with your dog on this one.
😂🐶
Meh
😂
In these times, the shit is worth millions!...
Fucj
None of them my taste, but I find the Belgian and French figurative painters interesting despite me not being into figurative painting. The artist with the gestural marks I find it lovely, but I like his smaller paintings, not his huge ones. I don't think the metrics in the art market help me appreciate a work more, because art appreciation is both objective and subjective. Murillo might be at the top of the game, for example, but I find his paintings anything but good and his discourse vacuous and pretentious. There is a Spanish artist that lives and works in Switzerland, Almudena Pintado, that I love, but perhaps isn't that known? Or too conventional? Or too minimal? Or not good enough? Just love looking at her work. The same, but very different style, I also love the Japanese Takahiko Hayashi for his relentless work and experimentation, and you can recognise his work at a distance. None of them emerging, I think, as they have an age. I always appreciate your insights into the art world. Always looking forward to your videos. Wishing you a happy 2024.
Hi there, thank you for tuning in and for sharing your honest thoughts here-they are most welcome! Two interesting lesser-known artists you mention here, and with the right venue they can also make steps in the art world, the quality is certainly there. The pleasure is all mine, happy 2024 to you too!
Why they have to be all white? well at least we have some women in the list. For the record iam not critizing the work in general.
They don't have to be at all. When assembling this list, I never tried to tick any boxes. We have 4 male artists, 4 female artists. 2 North-African artists, 1 American artist of Asian origin, and 5 European artists-which isn't strange considering I am based in Europe and I have seen predominantly European artists in the flesh. But you're right; there are no artists of African descent besides the two North African artists. Perhaps an indirect cause for this is that I personally don't like art that focuses purely on the political, and the people of color are always expected to make political work-or at least the ones that do are the ones that become pretty successful and visible. Food for thought! Thank you for tuning in
Olá, obrigada pelo retorno. Entendo que como curador, suas escolhas não devem preencher caixas. No entanto, se fizermos uma breve retrospectiva, artistas mais consagrados são homens, em sua grande maioria brancos e ricos. Até se pensarmos em mulheres artistas, quantas temos? Quantas são exaltadas? Entendo que nem tudo é político, mas tudo é político sim! São recortes, são camadas. Como disse, não estou criticando suas técnicas. Meu ponto é que também temos que levar em consideração isso também. Ana Mae Barbosa é uma estudiosa brasileira, indico a leitura. Ela fala sobre os 3 pontos pra se entender uma obra. Contexto, artista e arte *. Enfim apenas uma sugestão! ❤

Too much art speak. The artist from his home city got way too much analysis for middling art. Abstract art needs too much explanation, ruins the joy of art.
We talk a lot about on this channel, so there was always going to be a lot of 'art speak.' However, I don't think these artists need it-on the contrary. Perhaps the video is as interesting, or maybe even more, when playing it on mute if you don't like art speak. Concerning abstract art, I must say I disagree, it doesn't need any explanation at all as it so has direct. Nevertheless, thank you for tuning in!
No Black artists are emerging?
Adjective spewing bullshit
Ugly choices😂
De gustibus... Thank you for tuning in!
what a joke 😂
Terrible, this “art” destroyed real Art
So only the art you like is real art and everything else and everyone else is wrong? Art is a feast and there is plenty out there for everyone. Focus on what you like the most without decrying others. Thank you for tuning in!
Alia ahmd overrated please..
trivial crap.
