A growing number of young painters are reaching the top ranks of the contemporary art world. Some of them, like Firelei Báez (b. 1981), Flora Yukhnovich (b. 1990), and Jadé Fadojutimi (1993), are also eschewing overt thematic content and political statements. Instead, they paint with a focus on their medium and offer large scale decorative and figurative works that allow the viewer to draw their own interpretation. Is the recognition of these young artists signaling a new trend in contemporary art?
