Abstract Art Burning Passion Sensual Erotica

Burning Passion – abstract art

The age of internet art viewing is upon us.

We may perhaps feel that there appears to be this generalised sense in our culture that something may have been lost with the power of the screen and the Internet as this information age hovers over us.

An ever present charged border between the human and the technological.

It is in perhaps meeting this challenge, of offering a site for negotiating a ‘mediated life-world’ is where contemporary abstract painting differs to previous incarnations.

Look at abstract art in the same way that you would listen to a symphony.

When you listen to music, you don’t try to hold on to the notes – you let them wash over you.

Let your eyes wander over the painting the way the notes of a symphony wash over your soul.

Let your eyes play with the painting, slipping around corners, following the twirls, twists and turns, dipping in and out of the surface.

Let your eyes dance around the piece.

Rather than trying to figure out what the painting looks like, just allow yourself to be taken in by the painting.

See what emotions, sensations or memories emerge.

Let your eyes relax and travel around the piece without expectation.

Examine the colours, forms, materials, surface, and how they interact with each other.

Take your time.

Let the painting “speak” to you.

Abstract art can also make people uneasy because they don’t automatically know what the art is “about” just by a cursory glance.

They assume that because it doesn’t look like anything, then it is not “about” anything.

The above painting titled (Burning Passion) is a recent work of my own using the abstract expressionist style that is my own creation called Spontaneous Emotional Ejection.

My own paintings have been regularly reviewed on this site by the general public for some time now and they receive popular ongoing general positive appraisal, and of course negative appraisal too.

A solitary genius, an eccentric being with a soul of a dreamer, a cultural connoisseur, and a visionary for the ages, these are just a few words that have been used to describe my own art.

Abstract art doesn’t contain recognisable objects, so there is nothing to grasp or hold onto.

This can be very confusing, even threatening, to some who are not used to assigning their own meaning to what they see before them.

The truth is, abstract art is not “about nothing”.

At its basis, it is about form, colour, line, texture, pattern, composition and process.

These are the formal qualities of artwork as in my own creation and brand new style.

Abstract art is an exploration of these formal qualities.

Meaning is derived from how these formal qualities are used to create a visual (and/or visceral, cerebral, emotional, etc) experience.
