The beauty and
freedom of abstraction is that it is not supposed to look like anything.
Therefore it's the perfect way to express lofty, intangible concepts
- such as timeless questions of a spiritual nature, or an exploration
of the deep pools of human emotions, or an investigation of the various
mysteries of life and existence. (Although that's not to say that
all abstract art is heavily laden with deep existential meaning...
a successful
abstract can also be simply a pretty picture that uses pleasing colors!)
By its very nature, abstraction encourages free association, which means you can assign your own meaning to the artwork. It won't tell you what it's about... you must experience the artwork for yourself, and understand it in your own way. Because of this, it takes a heightened sensitivity to both create and appreciate abstract artwork. Just like music is patterns of sound, abstract art is a harmony of patterns and rhythms of color, form and/or line.
Take a look at my painting above, Surface Reality. A talented young musician described it very well by writing: "Surface Reality is music you can hold in your hand. It is music eye candy." His description was well-put and spot-on!
