Game Art: From Zombies to Zombie Abstractionism in Videogames

Kotaku's Riley McCloud has compiled a killer list of paintings featured in games released in 2016 and discussed new trends with artist Curtis Glenn, who also works as an archivist at Gavin Brown's gallery in New York. From zombie abstractionism to post-pastoral, from outsider art to Burning Man sculptures, the articles makes clear that contemporary art in games has a long, long way to go.
