Admin 19-03-2018

Abstract art is a visual language of emotion.

It POSSESSES a tremendous potential to portray and inner emotions of an artist. Cognitive (perception and knowledge) and volitional (will, decision and intend) elements of emotion express a feeling with colour, form shape, perspective, texture and line and invite viewers to search a meaning to his creation and interpret. Emotions originate in our brain as well as other senses and trigger a feeling. Sensory feeling sometimes visible to heart but invisible to eyes. H. Jackson Brown Jr. an American author said "Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye", heart can FEEL but eyes only can OBSERVE. But modern research reveals our brain and heart work together in producing EMOTIONS as per Dr. Mercola said and interpreted.

Mind interprets EMOTION as to what you observe and perceive and how you melt, merge and dissolve while contemplating.

Abstract art is a vision of colours and shapes.

It DEFINES a new meaning and contemporary feel to the colours, provides an unusual space to explore the forms, and allow lines to behave individually to express their own meaning. Exposed element and principle has an opportunity to explore their own character visually narrative and simulative to the viewer's senses.

Abstract art is a disappearance of objectivity to emotional subjectivity (non-objectivity).

It REVEALS the reduced visibility of its determined character and does not represent any visual reality and detached the central concept from concrete ideas and leaves the visible traces of its abstract essence.

Abstract art is a creative outlet of unique style, different approaches, it indulges viewer in what you evoke emotional feeling of beauty and emotional expression of human personality.

It COMMUNICATES artist personal vision without thought, idea of concept. Exposed element and principle evoke only internal impulse and feeling. A feeling create a sense of beauty, explore an essence of sensory perception, delight the senses of touching and creates an emotional expression. Expression definitely communicates but what is communicated is a matter of imagination for observer.

Abstract Art is a search of meaning and interpretation.

It ANALYSES characterization of exposed elements and principles which describes how gracefully, graphically, expressively and colourfully explored and created visual harmony. Interpretation which describe the message, insight and meaning and provides a room open to expression. Evaluation which describes the understanding of artist intent. Its acquiescence, appreciation and achievement are solely depending upon how elements and principles masterly, excellently and skilfully displayed to their pertinent relationship.
