Coffee cup art has been developed by
modern artists and the popularity of this artform has blossomed in recent years. This art category was a result of
modern art seeking to reinvent and re-imagine common objects that were used every day by their audience. What resulted was a form of
graphic art that focused on the sensory qualities of
coffee and illustration opportunities it provided.
Pop art is a frequently used style in
coffee cup art. These paintings are typically flat in depiction and have warmly vivid color schemes. This type of pop art treatment is seen in the works 'Java Time' by Kathryn Fortson and 'Lucky Cup' by Catherine Jones. However, other modern styles are also popular for depicting this form of art, including realism, vintage, and retro styles that are as creative as they are in demand.
