Abstraction

 

Moving beyond verisimilitude abstraction frees the artist from the object.  This opens the door for a vast variety of visual interpretations which indeed makes abstract art the most challenging.  The artist’s facility with the materials & focus on surface makes abstraction particularly interesting today.  But w/o personal content, symbolism or “event”,  it risks becoming conceptually mundane & void of meaning.
