CONCEPTUAL ART means art where the idea
or concept is more important than the seen image.
Conceptual art is usually abstracted or
performance art. Conceptual Art uses elements to
suggest deeper thoughts to trigger thoughts in the
viewer rather than appreciation of skilled imagery.
Most artworks have a conceptual side to it as most
art works make the audience think about a
concept. Tribal Art is strongly conceptual so is
most modern and Post Modern art.Back to Top

represents something even if it is not realistic.
