ABSTRACT STYLE

Beginning in the early 20th century, abstract art became a leading style of modernism. Rather than portray the world in a way that represented reality, as had been the dominating style of Western art in the previous centuries, abstract paintings, prints and sculptures are marked by a shift to geometric forms, gestural shapes and experimentation with color to express ideas, subject matter and scenes.

Although abstract art flourished in the early 1900s, propelled by movements like Fauvism and Cubism, it was rooted in the 19th century. In the 1840s, J.M.W. Turner emphasized light and motion for atmospheric paintings in which concrete details were blurred, and Paul Cézanne challenged traditional expectations of perspective in the 1890s.

Some of the earliest abstract artists — Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint — expanded on these breakthroughs while using vivid colors and forms to channel spiritual concepts. Painter Piet Mondrian, a Dutch pioneer of the art movement, explored geometric abstraction partly owing to his belief in Theosophy, which is grounded in a search for higher spiritual truths and embraces philosophers of the Renaissance period and medieval mystics. Black Square, a daringly simple 1913 work by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, was a watershed statement on creating art that was free “from the dead weight of the real world,” as he later wrote.

Surrealism in the 1920s, led by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Meret Oppenheim and others, saw painters creating abstract pieces in order to connect to the subconscious. When Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York during the mid-20th century, it similarly centered on the process of creation, in which Helen Frankenthaler’s expressive “soak-stain” technique, Jackson Pollock’s drips of paint, and Mark Rothko’s planes of color were a radical new type of abstraction.

Conceptual art, Pop art, Hard-Edge painting and many other movements offered fresh approaches to abstraction that continued into the 21st century, with major contemporary artists now exploring it, including Anish Kapoor, Mark Bradford, El Anatsui and Julie Mehretu.

Breathe Free - Large Tranquil Neutral Abstract Painting Ready to Hang
Located in Los Angeles, CA
The original artworks by Canadian artist Julie Naima feature visually appealing abstract compositions with organic shapes that evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity. The harmonious interplay of a few carefully selected colors, and their varied shades, create a nuanced visual experience that is both calming and invigorating. Crafted in a contemporary and modern style, her paintings are infused with a touch of refinement and artistic flair. The use of organic shapes creates a sense of natural flow and movement, while the balanced color palette adds a level of sophistication to the overall design. This one-of-a-kind abstract painting on canvas measures 60 inches high by 60 inches wide. The sides of the artwork are painted as a continuation of the front. The painting is wired and ready to hang, making it a hassle-free addition to any wall. It's signed by the artist on the back, adding an extra touch of authenticity and value. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with the artwork, ensuring that the piece is an authentic work of art from Julie Naima. Julie Naima is an accomplished artist originally from Montreal, Canada, who currently resides in a tranquil rural town, removed from the frenetic pace of city life. Her creative process is characterized by experimentation, having explored various techniques and media, such as fluid paints, flowy inks, epoxy resin, collage, and mixed media. However, Naima has since returned to exclusively working with acrylics on canvas, with a particular focus on color. Through this dedication, Naima has discovered that colorful abstract art, imbued with positive emotions and good intentions, is what resonates most with her. Naima's impressive body of work can be found in many private collections across Canada, Europe, Australia, and the United States, attesting to the universality of her artistic vision. Her unique use of color and form imbues her abstract works with a sense of energy and dynamism, evoking a wide range of emotions in viewers.

Annette Selle - "Morning" - unique original oil painting on canvas
Located in Winterswijk, NL
Annette Selle - "Morning". It is important to me to create an art space that enables the viewer to connect this space with his or her own reality. It is up to the viewer alone to decide how he or she perceives the landscape space; the picture conforms to the visual intention. In the process, other certainties also disappear. What is going on with the ground, with its red between the light bands? If you engage with it, it loses its solidity, it is as if you are looking down past bright ribs and bars into a cloudy, red bottomlessness. Country of Origin: Germany. Signed: Yes. Topic: Landscapes. Image Size: 90 x 130 cm. Total Size: 90 x 130 cm. Orientation: Landscape. Primary Color: Yellow. Secondary Color: Red. About the artist Annette Selle: Studied painting at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, also art education at the Humboldt University. Since 1999 continuous exhibitions. Study visits with subsequent exhibitions in France, Italy and Spain. Since 2015 senior lecturer at the youth art school Atrium in Berlin. Member of the Netzwerk Frauenmuseum Berlin and Brandenburger Verband Bildender Künstler e.V.. Exhibitions: 2021 Kunsthalle Brennabor, Brandenburg an der Havel (S, mit Claudia Güttner), Galerie aquabit, Berlin (G) 2020 Zwitschermaschine Berlin (G, with Frauenmuseum Berlin), Galerie aquabit, Berlin (G) Form und Rausch, Altes Rathaus Wittenberg (with Claudia Güttner and Jörg Kuß). 2019 Galerie am Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin (S), Willy Brand-Haus "Stimmen!", (with Frauenmuseum Berlin) Berlin (G). 2018 Kunstscheune Barnstorf, Wustrow (G), Galerie am Gendarmenmarkt (S), Galerie Alte Schule, Berlin-Adlershof (with Frauenmuseum Berlin) (G). 2017 Galerie am Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin (G), art nou...
