Abstract Art Gallery
My Series - Abstract, Exploration, Comparison
My Series 1 - Digital Painting - Abstract Art Gallery
For me creating abstract work has always been a kind of special area. Without caring about representing anything in particular, it is a safe place to explore a medium, try new things, and simply enjoy the movement and process of creating.
The above piece is the start of something I felt might be worth pursuing. I liked the way the image is on the cusp between something tangible and something completely free form. It wasn’t particularly intentional - just the outgrowth of play.
The texture working in and out of the colors and forms also appealed to me a great deal. I have always been fascinated with the empty space as much as the form. Ever since my first sculpture exposure - it has become obvious how important the empty space is to the filled space and vice versa.
Color is the same way of course - being only a particular color because of the relationship to the colors next to it. A theme I am sure I have touched on before - comparison is part of the daily fabric of our perception.
