What is art in the 21st century? While some artists are keeping a very traditional approach to art, others are taking risks into the unknown and there has always been a constant debate about "What Is Art" and what makes it valuable.
In a contemporary world, success can be seen in varied approaches; great examples are Damien Hirst and David Hockney, two of the world's most famous and wealthiest artists, with such different approaches to contemporary art.
This exhibition aims to create a dialogue between different approaches to contemporary art and demonstrate that either way can be successful. This exhibition will take place in our space in the Tower Bridge area, London, UK. The space is located in one of the most iconic places in the world and the most visited place in the whole UK.

Art Fluent invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online exhibit, BRILLIANCE. Art plays with perceptions of light, which can challenge viewers with what they see and understand from each piece. Light can go beyond being just functional. It can also be deeply affecting. Uniquely used as both a tool and a subject to create certain effects and to elicit emotion. Light levels can directly influence our mood and the feeling of atmosphere within artwork. As light works with shadow, it lends a sense of depth; with this, the work can feel complete.
