This is a page where I present my research on different artists and analyze their works in their respective fields. The common thing between them all is that they are considered to be postmodern artists. Postmodernist art strives to engage mass audiences or rethink strategies for radicalism. What makes it radical is its tendency to reach for the extremes, taboos, meaningless, boring, and controversial aspects of society. If postmodernism were to be considered a reaction to something, then it would be a reaction to the failure of modernism to make a significant impact on the world and its promise to destroy all structures of our foundation. The artists that I present deal with an aspect of our reality that is no longer hidden, dismissed, or ignored. Through art, music, and literature, the common theme is that the human is no longer all that important.
