What is Abstract Art and How Do We Approach It

When we think Abstract Art, what comes to mind? For most of us, it is a grand painting on canvas. It’s classic. And most of us want and even need art in our lives, from enthusiastic finger-painted drawings that our parents put on the refrigerator to our later efforts in higher education that we remember with pride. When we establish our own homes and at last get the moving boxes disposed of, we look around. What to do with those walls? Is it time to drag out the poster that we used to cover up a stain on our dreary apartment expanse of eggshell white? No, it’s time to get serious about art in our lives. This is where abstract art on canvas comes in.
Everyone makes art, to some degree. The style of clothing that we wear presents ourselves to the world in a form of art. Now how to extend our style to our homes, that is the question. We live in the 21st century, we have access via the internet to livetime tours of the Louvre and to the most recent local art festival, so all we have to do now is choose. The world of art on canvas is spread before us, impressionism and Dadaism and post-modernism, it all boggles the mind. Then one theme stands out: abstract art. There is a sliding scale of realism in abstract art and we like that. We could take a photograph and frame it if we wanted total realism, but we want art, that plucking out of nature the elements that strike our fancy and involve our minds. What is abstract art on canvas? We shall see how it is actually the culmination of centuries of artistic expression.
Our first finger-paintings might be called the handprints on a cave wall that our ancestors did when they expressed ourselves, but we are 21st century sophisticates. With the greater relevance of technology to modern society, a new sort of art emerges, abstract art that is built on the shoulders of the past yet looks forward to an ever-changing future. The thrill of abstract art is that it is absolutely up-to-the-moment and we feel truly like art collectors with a much larger budget when we have a piece of abstract art on our wall, enlivening the entire room with an artistic focal point. Abstract art on canvas offers the modern collector the most attainable form of creating an abstract art collection. Painted by an artist using the modern, long-lasting medium of acrylic paint, your new painting stands as the way to portray your home as a place of refinement.
So, you’ve chosen your artwork. You’ve found the perfect piece, in theme, size and color. Should you frame it, or not? Framed or hung simply using its stretchers at that perfect place in your home, you admire it for hours at a time. And then, the next logical step, you want to share it. Throw a party to showcase your new acquisition, mention it at work, take digital pictures and share it via emails to your friends and family, if you love it you will do all these things because art truly has an important place in your life. You have joined the 21st century.
