This period is not an historical style as with the “contemporary style” as it is happening now.
The impact of digital technology has transformed traditional activities such as painting,drawing and sculpture, while new forms, such as net art, digital installation art, and virtual reality, have become recognized artistic practices.More generally the term digital artist is used to describe an artist who makes use of digital technologies in the production of art. In an expanded sense, "digital art" is a term applied to contemporary art that uses the methods of mass production or digital media.
With computers designed to create clean layouts, the digital look doesn’t look digital. The artists using computers are creating works that look messy, layered, extreme, unstable, poetic and expressive. This seems to run parallel with what is known as street fashion, loose, casual and messy and the use of big logos.
Some of the artists who influenced this style were Andy Warhol and Basquait. They were both known for stretching the boundaries of their paintings. At times the results were crude, primitive disjointed and messy. Yet they remained charming in a “pop art” sort of way.
