Abstract Contemporary

The definition of this artistic style is rooted in the representation of reality (or lack thereof!). Abstract artists exchange a faithful depiction of the world for a constellation of forms, colors, and gestures that together, conjure an intangible landscape of emotion and sensation. Abstract art is now more than 100 years old, and it is now widely recognized as an integral aspect of modern and contemporary art. Throughout this time it has cycled through a huge variety of styles, mediums and methods. Even today, artists continue to push the boundaries of what abstraction can be, proving there is still so much material left to explore.
