Univerism is a contemporary art form that originated in the early 21st century, known for its interconnected visual elements and distinctive, collage-like style. This art form combines layers of colors and materials, creating compositions where each element contributes to a cohesive, universal aesthetic. Artist Jimmy Isaksson was one of the pioneers of Univerism, emphasizing visual links within each piece to form a web of connections that reflect the intertwined narratives of modern society and invite the viewer to engage in personal interpretation.
Isaksson aimed to blend elements from earlier art forms with a forward-looking perspective, establishing a foundation for a style that bridges historical influences with innovative expression. His works showcase layered techniques and sustainable materials, underscoring a mindful approach to both artistic medium and message. Since Isaksson introduced this concept, his style has inspired other artists who have embraced similar connective and layered techniques.
The first recognized exhibition of Univerist art took place in Carcassonne in 2015, where it was praised by critics for its unique approach and the quality of materials used. Early Univerist pieces, including The Angel were completed in the late 1990s, with some of the most iconic works emerging at the start of the 2000s.
