Generally speaking, individuals usually try to be original, to get out of the ordinary, to do something that has never been done before; but not painters. They are a specific category of people who strongly believe that you cannot bring something new to art. No matter what or how you try to paint, be sure that someone else has already done it.
Postmodernist art of painting embraces the idea that it is no use in trying to be original because all the possibilities have been exhausted by traditional and modern painting. By embracing this idea, the process of painting becomes more interesting in style.
Having no worries about being original in what to paint, artists develop, unconsciously, a desire of being original in their style. This is where the difference is made, postmodernist style of painting being developed as a cause of the consciousness that nothing can be changed.
Consequently, there is an obvious pattern in the characteristics of style. Postmodernist painting goes hand in hand with tendencies existent within the society, criticism being also its most important feature. The paintings have started to represent different critiques brought to the address of society, of people, of internet, of everything. Each domain has something interesting that can be used in works of art.
Also, because of this critical style, the emphasis is on negative things. But then again, this is a question of perception. What you may found positive, others may see it otherwise because, as we all know, each thing, situation, or human has both good and bad characteristics. You only have to look closely. So, postmodernists tend to look at everything more realistic and discover the unnamed negative things existent. The success is in knowing how to make the idea visible in a painting.
They mostly choose to paint in a way that makes the meaning to be seen. Being very similar with the concept of caricature, modern painting is trying to put emphasize on different pieces of the painting in order to capture attention. By exaggeration of proportions, the subject of the critique becomes much more visible and can be easier interpreted and understood. Taken as a big picture, the image may seem much distorted, but this is the characteristic of postmodern style. Very few meanings actually stay hidden and you must dig deeper in order to find them. Most of them are put right in your face. There is no need for much interpretation. The painting says exactly what it shows.
Two types of painting are the most used in our days. These are the acrylic and oil painting. The first one is the most largely spread because of its main benefits. It has a great water resistance and it also is a type of painting that has no pretensions over the material you choose. Can it be ceramic, glass, or cement, only your painting skills will matter. The other one, the oil painting, is the most common used in design. People choose it in order to make their houses artistic.
In conclusion, it can simply be said that postmodernism is the main feature that characterizes the style of postmodernists painters. The system works like before. There are common design patterns that all arts or Leisure areas renovation will have in different decades accordingly with changes that may happen within the society.
