Admin 26-07-2019

Artist is beyond human known for his highly idiosyncratic talents skilfully creating and deeply exploring human's inner feeling. Artist develops his opinion, competence, cognition and insight to know himself by himself and being introspective explorer he/she access them to analyze, investigate and study its individual characteristics in work of art.

Art is not just merely a thoughtless decorative feature of enchanting, exotic and eye grabbing pleasing colours added for embellishment of walls. Art intensely illuminate individuality of an artist, it evokes mood, create messages and speaks to us an unique expression of feelings which intellectually enlighten an emotional appeal of his perception aesthetically intrinsic ideas and imaginative or cognitive concepts.

Today painting itself liberated from its traditional structure and conventional frame and entered into wider spectrum of innovative experimental approaches for its numerous rolls.

Playing with painting today becomes an essential character of artist's desire and determination and his sense of purpose changed in a character of tendency to achieve unique and distinctive results for expression and also stretching its meaning in an unprecedented steps and ways seems to be inconceivable and outside the realm of imagination.

Contextual aspects and per-formative trends become an element of artist's aspiration and intention for imaginative concepts; imaginative conceptual sphere transforms into harmonious visual appearance to evaluate values of visual expression for visual perception and perceptual interpretation.

Abstract art is a visual language of creative self-expression, elegantly expressed exteriorization of an inner content and context subjectively descriptive through intent "form" which is an emotional carrier of expression; emotional "colours" sheer expressive of valuable perception due to their hue and temperature and expressive "lines" convey direction, motion, movement and mood and orientation of things represented within the composition in a work of art.

This significant and distinctive findings with experimental approach of an artist in his work of abstract art is a result of divergent thinking of unusual talents he possess and it becomes exuberant search of his optimistic perception in an ebullient mood which explores extensively an artist's own meaning for aesthetic perception and interpretation and to understand also; its distinctive character involved in a work of abstract art is a philosophical perspective provides an inner vision and insight to see things in a different way.

I am highly influenced with the Wynadham Lewis's phrase "an art of individuals." He was an English writer, painter and critic. He was a co-founder of vorticist movement in art, Educated in Slade School of fine Art, University College London, born in Canada and died in London, England.

Abstract art provides a freedom of expression for the creator and allows a freedom of divergent interpretation for the spectators. Each individual artist provides a potential to read a painting with spectator's eye and understand with artist's eye.

I commonly, constantly and continually observed a work of abstract painting of upcoming and budding artists is a shallow expression of what they have observed around them likewise. It doesn't attempt a methodical, experimental or processed study of their own expression, are often observed a lack of intentional expressiveness of subjective values. Never faithfully portrayed expressive thoughts, vision of intuitive feelings and intimate concepts. Never represented progressive phase of their personality, never provided an opportunity to enjoy aesthetic pleasure of their inherent qualities. Never observed cognitive perspective of their intention, then how expect sensory-perceptual characteristics of content and context can appeal and attract the attention of a spectator for visual interpretation responding to WHAT you see and HOW you see and can clarify the intention of incorporated features.

It is advisable; don't attempt to copy the painters' creation. Definitely look deeper to others work and make them a source of your inspiration and execute your own ideas which are deeply rooted within you and make them unique to explore. Your visual literacy fuel your creativity and may help you to develop your own insight and style and transform it into your own work to resonate the spectators and to delight and captivate their senses.

Painting is a visual language of self-expression achieved through contemplative meditation. It is an outlet of an artist's innate urge, passion, pulsation and perspective with cognitive insight deeply immersed in search of emotional outlook for his/her creative expression and to make them aesthetically visible for appreciation, explore their intrinsic values for people's perception and interpretation for intellectual and experiential understanding.
