 What is Abstract Art?


 


Macaw Abstract 18x24
3-D canvas edge (1.5" thick)
Acrylic
Wallpaper

Abstract means "reduced to simplest form;" like a complex person, would then be a stick figure. This painting here is of the Macaw parrot bird's features and some of its environment.

 

 

 
You see colors, shapes, and maybe textures that remind you of the bird. Abstract paintings let the mind wander to a higher caliper of sophistication. Interesting how something simplistic does this.

 

 

The black lines in this piece is synthetic braid hair dipped in really thick gel paint, extending its way over finished edges. This hair is normally used to create extensions (bottom of page) for a longer hairstyle on a person.
