Cityscapes and Urban Life
Cityscape and urban life art is a visual representation of a city's physical features, including its buildings, streets, and parks. It can be a painting, drawing, print, or photograph.Â
Cityscapes focus on the urban environment, while urban landscapes may include natural features. Cityscapes can be realistic or abstract, and can explore themes of progress, decay, isolation, and community.
Cityscape art has evolved over time, reflecting changes in artistic styles and techniques. Key historical movements, such as Impressionism and Modernism, have contributed to the genreÂ
Contemporary artists have created cityscapes that offer emotional depth and visual beauty.
Cityscape art can explore the complex relationships between individuals and their urban environments. It can also address the negative aspects of urbanisation, such as displacement and poverty.
