From simple monochromatic paintings, to canvasses covered in streaks of colour, Abstract art defines the art of modern times, with free forms completely open to interpretation. Challenging the mind as well as the pre-existing notion that art must be a certain way,
Abstract Art is a statement that continues to capture the imagination of art lovers. A style wherein the imagery departs from reality, Abstract Art depicts the subject of an artwork in a way that is only a representative of its true form. In simpler words, abstract artists depict their subjects with the use of shapes, colours and forms, instead of trying to replicate their realness. Abstract art led to the evolution of the idea of ‘Art for Art’s Sake’, where the process of creation and the concept behind an artwork takes precedence over the artwork itself, or the subjects being depicted. Abstract artworks vary in the degrees of their abstraction, with some being only slightly abstract (where the subject is still recognizable), to those which seem to be completely without any external frame of reference.
