Abstract Art: Absence of Representation

Abstract art exists on a continuum, from somewhat representational work, to work that is so far removed from its actual real-world appearance that it is almost impossible to easily discern what is being represented. It may simply depict shapes, colors, lines, etc., but may also express things that are not visible or it may capture something visual from the real world. Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in the depiction of imagery in art.  

Abstraction exists along a continuum; abstract art can formally refer to compositions that are derived (or abstracted) from figurative or other natural sources.  

In this collection, we bring you an eclectic range of works that are a fascinating mix of bright, complex, simplified, distorted, exaggerated, and geometric.
