In artwork, meaning is created using negative space when focus is directed to the area surrounding the primary static object of the artwork. It defines space by creating a balance around the main object which aids in marking the object's contours, and emphasizing the object itself. Painters, photographers, sculptors, and graphic designers have all used some form of negative space. With careful tactics, artists can instill a sense of movement, depth, and harmony in their compositions with the use of negative space. The idea lesser known during Historical period but in 20th century, with rise of Abstract art like Cubism and Minimalism, negative space gained popularity. These movements was supported by famous artists like Picasso and Georges Braque, who literally tore the traditional forms and used and challenged the audiences view of rest of the image. In modern days, photographers like Daido Moriyama and Fan Ho made use of negative space to produce imagery that is simplistic yet in depth, raising emotions and thoughts internally and looking for intuition. As an everpresent characteristic of modern art and design, negative space remains an important tool in generating suspense and interest. For instance, Anish Kapoor and Olafur Eliasson use negative space in their audience engaging art installations that utilize light, shadow, and perception. These artists manipulate the emptiness within their work to provoke the audience to rethink the limits of space and form and, instead, retrieve meaning from the artwork.
