Contemporary art is liked and appreciated by all and sundry. Abstract art uses only colors and shades to depict ideas, so people might not understand the underlying message unless they learn more about the art. Contemporary paintings, on the other hand, deal with real life situations, which common man can easily relate to. 

 This contemporary hand-painting on velvet cloth shows a village couple sitting in an open field and spending some time in each other’s company. It is well after sunset, so the background is shown to be getting dark. The man is seen mending a piece of metal, while his companion looks on patiently. His wooden handcart is parked a little away from where the couple is seated. His hookah and chillum (a type of pipe used for smoking) are ready for him to take a puff from it during the course of his work.
