3. Planet Vivid Combines Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art

From an art-historical perspective Planet Vivid represents art that is influenced by various expressionist forms of art but also by Pop Art. The artists combine in their work emotional intensity and authentic self-expression. The selection of Pop Art in combination with abstract expressionism is not meant to be conflicting but should address scenery, situations and things out of our everyday life. Simple shapes, compositions and figures are combined with bright colors in large distinct surfaced areas, which gives the artwork a special emotional expressiveness.
