Art is created to delight, surprise, and sometimes shock the public.Hotel & Gallery Artbox will tell you about several unusual types of contemporary art.

1.  Anamorphosis is a technique for creating images that can only be fully understood from a specific point or angle.

2. Photorealism – creators strive to create strikingly realistic images that are no different from photographs. They copy even the smallest details from photographs, creating their paintings.

3. Use of blood in painting. It may seem strange, but there are a lot of artists who create their works using bodily fluids.

4. Reverse 3-D visualization. While using anamorphosis artists tend to make two-dimensional objects three-dimensional, reverse 3-D visualization is intended for the opposite-to make a three-dimensional object similar to a drawing or picture.

5. Shadow art. Shadows are fleeting in nature, so it’s hard to tell when people first started using them in art.

6. Reverse graffiti. Like painting dirty cars, the art of reverse graffiti is to create images by removing dirt rather than adding paint. Artists often use water hoses to remove dirt and soot from the walls, creating amazing paintings.

7. Light graphics. Strangely enough, some of the first attempts at light painting were not perceived as art at all. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth (characters in the novel “Wholesale cheaper”) became famous for improving the efficiency of workers. As early as 1914, they began using light and an open-shutter camera to record the movements of individual employees. By studying the resulting light images, they hoped to find ways to make the work simpler and easier. In the art world, this method appeared in 1935, when the surrealist artist man ray used an open-shutter camera to photograph himself surrounded by streams of light.
