Demystifying Art
Art Styles
Art can be anything from something that's more realistic than a photo (like hyperrealist art, which aims to resemble a high-resolution photograph) ....to extremely abstracted paintings (like those that are just a single colour painted all over a canvas).
Abstract art has been defined as art that doesn't aim to depict visual reality accurately, but instead uses shapes, colours, forms, and mark-making to represent some truth, concept or even something the artist sees, but just not literally.
Clever, really!
It's been said that abstract art has been influenced to represent higher spiritual truths in a non-perceptual basis (so, by not depicting what we see) by "Theosophy".
Theosophy was a movement started in the 1870s underpinned by the belief that the meaning of life is the search for a "spiritual emancipation", or freedom from earthly concerns. This drove artists to "abstraction" (if you'll pardon the pun!), removing the realistic depiction of physical elements from their work, in the pursuit of higher spirital elements.
When done well, it can be genius.
By contrast, hyperrealism aims to create a totally realistic "false reality" on paper or canvas, prompting awe at the skill involved in the piece's creation.
Very clever stuff!
I aim for something in between. I want my work to look like what I'm painting, but I want it to feel more "relaxed" than say photo-realism. I don't want to compete with a photographer, but rather show something else in my work, too. Things like calm, contentment and that life is good or, as in the portion of my unfinished painting of space-hopper racing in my video, joy, excitement and, above all, movement!
In "Jane Eyre", Charlotte Bronte steps outside the frame of the novel, when she writes the trail-blazing line "Reader, I married him".
I want to step beyond the paper or canvas I'm painting on and say:
"Viewer, find your happiness".
I want my art to support its viewers in their emotional lives...
I think my aims may be a bit ambitious... but who knows how long I have to get closer and, maybe, my work can continue to work on it when I'm no longer here....
Thanks!
