Contemporary abstract art

 
 

 Art generally is an expressive part of the society. It is an integral part of the world and it represents a legacy passed down from millennia past. Art is everywhere and it boldly encapsulates the diversities of life, bringing people to a level of unfathomable adoration with every crease and stroke of the artist’s brush.

With ages past and evolution constant, Art has branched into many sectors of our lives and has also succeeded in cutting deep into our beings. One of the integral branches is Contemporary Abstract Art. Contemporary Abstract Art is formed by a concurrence of two basic terms which are ‘Contemporary’ and ‘abstract art’

Contemporary simply means modernized or of the present while ‘abstract art’ is a form of art that doesn’t conform to reality visually as the use of shapes, colors, patterns, gestures, and forms are employed instead.  Therefore, Contemporary Abstract Art is a beautiful form of modern art in which the artist makes use of shapes, gestures, colors, patterns, and forms to portray a deep meaning of his/her visual perception of the world around him/her.

Abstract Art in its entirety is further grouped into ten integral sub-types which include: Cubism, Constructivism, Neo-plasticism and Orphism; Surrealism; Abstract, Relief and Sculpture; Halftone; Abstract Organic; Memphis Style; Line Art; Marbling; Block-color and; Paint Splatter, Drip, and Splash.

Abstract Art is known for its evasiveness and this unique characteristic feature makes it distinct and valuable. Of course, not everyone has the ability to interpret but everyone has their individual beliefs and thoughts for awarding meaning to life.
