VERSALISM: A NEW EXPRESSION OF FREEDOM IN POLYSTYLISM

Abstract

In a world where the boundaries of stylistic categorization are becoming increasingly fluid, Verbalism emerges as a contemporary visual arts approach that responds to the modern artist’s need for layered and liberated expression. This article introduces and philosophically and technically analyzes Verbalism — a style grounded in the intentional fusion of various art styles, tools, and the artist’s momentary emotions. In this style, each section of a painting can draws from a different visual tradition and express its own unique voice. The article also explores alternative naming possibilities, the underlying conceptual framework, and the potential future of this emerging movement within the broader context of contemporary art.
