It's like the famouse story, by H.C Andersen "The Emperor's New Clothes". They're all "ooh it's so pretty", untill 'the little boy' yells "Hey why is he naked", but in this case it would be "Hey this isnt art!". (Sorry, i am not very good at English :) ) I totally agree :) Modern art sucks..

I Recently posted on "The Reality of Abstract Art". By far your piece so far. sadly I feel the copy takes from it. The composition is great, and I love your palate. The copy is hardly readable however and I suppose I am biased in that I prefer to refrain from using any copy in my expressionist works as to keep myself from influencing a viewers perspective with my own. It is beautiful with emotion none the less. Good work. I’m a new visitor, just passing through. I Recently posted on “The Reality of Abstract Art”.

In my conception of abstract art the term "expressionism" is the key to understanding any reason for the purpose in the art. With the more famous abstract artist, Pollock being the best example, the process in creation is a process of visually representing a continuing stream of consciousness. In zen Buddhism, meditation at its basic level is the process of passively observing a stream of consciousness. This can to some degree be said that the creation of abstract art on a non-representational and expressive plane is a process of meditation, whereas the point of intuitive guidance is impulsion without obstruction of the conscious mind. The reason for this goes back to psychoanalysis (which most "real" abstract artist were heavily involved with). The process of this "meditation" in the creation of abstract art which represents a continuing stream of consciousness that is not conscious thinking means that it is actually a representation of a continuous stream of unconscious processes. This in turn means that it can be reflected upon in the process of psychoanalysis. To take this further, the process of psychoanalysis uses symbols (which can be represented in a plethora of ways including experiences) to "understand" the origin of these unconscious processes. These symbols are translated by the individual in his/her reflection of their experiences in life from a individual perspective input only and the psychiatrist being a mentor/help guide the direction of where to look for reflection. When this is successful this in therapy leads to an explanation to the individual the reason and origin for a number of complexes and psychological disorders. The abstract art itself in completion is a symbol of a unconscious symptom or state of mind, and in that case is a symbol of unconscious experience that includes material worth individual reflection. Think of abstract art more as a dream that has been fragmented into reality. Because of this being a symbol of an individual mind state, it becomes meaningful mostly to the artist and this is where the controversy begins to creep into its shadow. The problem is not abstract art but (in american society) the ignorance and naivety of mind which the majority is sadly plagued with. Most of the viewers that see great works likes Pollock's (again) do not have the insight to be able to derive their individual experience of what the symbol represents to them, they just "like it" but they aren't sure why, and it makes them feel strange. This is mostly due to the way american society has been conditioned. This naivety of the viewer can be shown as to why the media and advertising is so effective, it acts on an unconscious level and so you think "oh, I'm hungry" or "I'm thirsty" when you see a mcdonalds or coca cola advertisement. In saying that, the work itself should not be considered to be only meaningful to only the artist. Instead the purpose is to expand the awareness of the viewer to a higher state of consciousness. This, to me means that not only is abstract art, "art" (more like Abstract Surrealism art) but I feel that in this perspective, it has transcended the purpose of "Art" in evolution into something which has a much higher purpose then aethetics. Initiating the movement of unconscious processes through the visual system to be interpreted in individual perspective of total conscious system re-evaluation. Seems like a much more purposeful mission statement than communicating a particular message (which will only be interpreted in a limited number of ways as opposed to infinite).

It is a shift from broader but softer background (very light) to a more minimalist foreground. And that's the thing I always loved about this work: It's airy almost abstract impressionist deep background moving to an almost minimalist high contrast foreground. It's one of my favorites. I sold this painting unstretched for $500.00. That wouldn't be the usual rate: On stretcher bars, it becomes more expensive for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is shipping but also because it is a more complete work. Paintings like this have been priced around $3,500 in my gallery. I'm open to suggestions, including doing a related series. It's easier for me to work on more than one painting at a time.

It's really difficult to know what people will care about in a hundred years or more: Maybe painters will just be a thing of the past and nobody will care about any of it. My guess would be, though, that some art from every style will survive at least so that people will know something of what we did back the old 20-aughts. And of course since we'll all be long dead by then will it even matter? :) Well Sean, I concur with parts of that.

"What the hell is that" is a reaction, after all, and generally speaking that's what abstract artists are going for. And this highlights a difference between various forms of representational art and abstract art: The realist's work screams, "Look at me! Look at my wonderful draftsman-like skills. See how well I can copy a photograph?" The abstract artist's work says, "Look at this thing... what is it?" If you want to make a living at art, you probably will need to be an impressionist. People like art where they can say, "boy, that guy is good." With "good" in this case meaning, the work looks kind of like a photograph. Representational art consumes ...oh, about 95 percent of the available gallery space in America. If you want to make people look think about the art instead of thinking about you, then abstract art may be the thing. The fact that few understand it is part of its beauty. Most likely, nobody will ever know who you are. You might sell some work to corporate clients - they tend to like the mystery and 'non-statement' kind of statement that abstract art makes - but you'll likely live and die in obscurity.

Are humans infallible? Can the created compare to the Creator? Can a man be God? No. Something that has been created must have a creator. You must agree that this makes complete logical sense. God created men, and handed them the Truth. It is the power and simplicity of the Truth that stirs the nations to war, boy against father, brother against brother. The bloodshed and violence is stirred by the Evil battling and trying to resist the Truth. God gave Men the gift of choice- They may choose to do right and accept the Truth, or choose to turn away and be lost. God knew that after the first sin of man, we would never be perfect in ourselves. Only by His Blood to pay ransom for our evil, would we be made Whole again. We are the created, and our purpose is to bring Glory to our Creator. I don't know what awful injustice you have been dealt at the hands of men that would make you turn against God, but I plead you to awaken your heart to God again, and not use your words to lead others astray. Obviously, people have done and are still doing some pretty messed up things. They're turning away left and right, manipulating the truth, and trying to drag others along with them, all the while proclaiming themselves 'righteous'. But don't let the weakness or lies of the human race be your comparison to the Strength and Truth of God. He is still Perfect One. No matter how many people you persuade or influence to turn away and give up on Christianity or following God, He will still remain forever King. Please don’t twist words and use human mistakes to strengthen your point.

God created men, and handed them the Truth. It is the power and simplicity of the Truth that stirs the nations to war, boy against father, brother against brother. The bloodshed and violence is stirred by the Evil battling and trying to resist the Truth.

God gave Men the gift of choice- They may choose to do right and accept the Truth, or choose to turn away and be lost. God knew that after the first sin of man, we would never be perfect in ourselves. Only by His Blood to pay ransom for our evil, would we be made Whole again. We are the created, and our purpose is to bring Glory to our Creator.

I don’t know what awful injustice you have been dealt at the hands of men that would make you turn against God, but I plead you to awaken your heart to God again, and not use your words to lead others astray.

Obviously, people have done and are still doing some pretty messed up things. They’re turning away left and right, manipulating the truth, and trying to drag others along with them, all the while proclaiming themselves ‘righteous’.
But don’t let the weakness or lies of the human race be your comparison to the Strength and Truth of God.
He is still Perfect One. No matter how many people you persuade or influence to turn away and give up on Christianity or following God, He will still remain forever King.
