Contemporary Abstraction


This painting truly lives up to it's name. This whimsical piece's greatest attraction is it's lovely selection of deep bold colors and the patterns that are created out of these colors and the thin lines they are applied with. This abstract painting uses criss crossing repetitive lines to produce an attractive artwork rich with shapes and saturated with interesting lines that will allow a viewer to look at the piece for hours without growing bored of untangling all the deep lines within the painting's edges. This piece is highly focused on straight lines repeated from the outside and working their way towards the interior of the piece. The color palatte consists of deep blues, specks of golden yellow, and highlights of white. The darker lines that contrast the delicate colors are used heavily in the centerpiece of the painting creating an image that is wanting its meaning to be figured out. In addition, these lines, while fittingly abstract suggest a modern feel with the use of bold lines and subtle colors of this piece. These lines seem to point to the corners of the piece, moving the eye from the center to the outer edges of the piece in an attractive way.

While this original abstract painting is presented on a single canvas, the repeated lines almost make it feel as if there are multiple paintings contained within this one canvas. The single panel design utilized very well by the artist of this piece keeps with the painting's delicate, straightforward sweetness that doesn't need any more lines cutting through it, as it is already interesting enough. The simplicity and delicate nature of this painting will make it look very attractive in any space that wants to evoke the emotions of the viewer. The painting's size and understated color palette will make it fill many empty walls in a lovely fashion. If you are interested in the shapes and lines that are depicted in this painting, try perusing the Modern Canvas section where you will find paintings that incorporate elements of the abstract, sweet style of this original painting. If Contemporary Abstraction resonates with you, you may feel similarly about Modern Depiction, that shares the repeated shapes and abstract elements that suggest concrete subjects as are present in Contemporary Abstraction.
