To catch up on the
tempo & mood of the artist. Abstract Art is an art which distorts
figures and forms from their true appearance keeping very slight references to
the original look of any object. When interpreting Abstract Art or any art for
that matter; there is no fixed right or wrong way to understand it. Abstract
Art has always evoked a gamut of emotions and reactions.
While trying to interpret, look beyond the canvas, the
paints, and the colors. Do not focus on physical things such as an empty cave,
the bright sun, or a racing car; but instead try to see the darkness, the
energy, the brightness, and the speed that these things reflect.
To interpret abstract art give amiss to the title given to
the work as you are not likely to find the title in the painting. You will see
that its so much easier to understand what the painting has to offer,
irrespective of what its name suggests.
Abstract art has many forms and manifestations. Expanded in
the form of a painting or a blank canvas, could be some sculpture that is
nowhere close to looking like what it should or a pair of sneakers that have
been bronzed & put on a pedestal labelled as an abstract art.
Colors provoke emotions. Red is lively and confident; Green
is peaceful with inner strength; Blue is deep and supernatural; Yellow could be
warm, exciting, disturbing or totally bonkers; and White seems silent but full
of possibilities.
Most of us believe that art has to be something that is
beautiful. But that is not necessarily true. Art should be striking,
compelling, provocative, inspiring, and should evoke emotions irrespective of
what those emotions are. They could even be confusion and bewilderment, which
is what Abstract Art usually evokes!
Lucian Freud “The longer you look at an object, the more abstract
it becomes & ironically the more real…”
