We live in a time when personal happiness has become a non-negotiable priority; when envisioning and choosing the story we want to live takes precedence over constricted notions of obligation. Using symbolism to narrate their ideas, today’s new crop of contemporary visual artists do not hold back in their ambitious experimentation and soaring creativity. Successfully building careers in the creative field is just one of the ways that the younger generation defies the odds – they are artistically expressing themselves in unimaginable ways, using social media to promote their talents to the world, and securing representation in the process. Spurred on by their personal experiences, including struggles with mental illness, childhood, and relationships, these artists use their work as a visual bridge to channel their emotions into pieces to be shared with an audience.
