An abstract painting does not attempt to represent something a viewer can recognize.
The subject of the painting is not a figure, an object, a place, or a narrative.
The subject of the painting is the painting.
An abstract work invites the viewer to engage their imagination and emotions by looking at the elements on the canvas,
If you look at what is there, you give yourself a chance to be intrigued, mesmerized, and even profoundly engaged.
Looking is a verb. Seeing is a verb. It’s something that you do. And when you look, you might feel things.
It might calm you, excite you, delight you. You may enjoy getting lost in it- discovering new things every time you look at it.
It doesn’t have to depict or represent something other than itself.
Abstract art has been defined in a number of different ways but the central idea is about composition, form, lines, patterns, textures, colours, Shapes and movement.
Some abstract art offers a asuggestion of something recognizable,
but it is abstracted or obscured.
Some like to call this semi-abstract.
For example, an abstract landscape allows the viewer to see a suggestion of a place without attempting to define the viewer’s experience too closely.
The mind assembles the areas of the picture into a place that feels familiar yet mysterious.
Non-objective abstract art, on the other hand, does not attempt to represent anything immediately recognizable
and instead offers a visual experience that is exciting, soothing, evocative, stimulating, or thought-provoking.
