What characterises it as "new"? How does it fit within wider contemporary trends?
I am not sure if there are any signals which tell us it is "new". Maybe the make-up or the ear-rings. I do not know too much what are the contemporary trends. This Susan's painting reminds me Klimt's painting, but only in my mind, when compared with digital version see in my monitor it is different. The connecting issue for my mind were the organic objects in Susan's painting, but Klimt has more geometric objects. I also did not see in my mind that Klimt used mainly the yellow for that paintings. It is interesting to see the paintings next to each other. The Susan's is somehow simpler than Klimt and it could be one signal it is "newer".
Susan's inspiration comes from 1920s and from contemporary artist such as Amy Judd and Joan Dumouchel as she said in that article http://www.bridgemanimages.com/en-GB/studio/features/susan-adams
Here is one of Dumouchel's painting. We can see "the same technique" where bold lines and vibrant colour are used in both pieces.
What factors may lead to your example becoming "last years's thing? What aspect of the design will age first? What do you think replace it?
Hardly to say. I am not aware what is happening in contemporary design and somehow that exercise encourage me to change it. So, I have made a Tate subscription just now. I need to find time to study contemporary art. Maybe I will return to this question later after a reading about contemporary art.
