Abstract art is quite simply ART that uses visual design elements like like texture, line, shape, or colour as the subject matter rather a recognizable object.
Maybe you're one of those viewers who look at abstract work and think to yourself "but I don't get it!" That's ok... but keep this in mind... it's not something TO GET. It's something you experience. Abstract art offers you an opportunity to lose yourself in colour, to reconnect yourself with an emotion, or introduce you to a feeling.
An abstract piece can be about what the artist is trying to portray - but also very much about the response of the viewer.
I've enjoyed a break from deliberate realistic pastel work - to a more unintentional colour application creating abstracted pastel paintings - giving me the opportunity to experiment with texture on paper, various tools and treatments - and simply the opportunity to get lost in colour.
Tell me - what do you enjoy about abstract art?
