Discover and indulge your passion for abstract art

If you’re not already a fan, you might be wondering if abstract art is for you.   It’s true that it can take a little bit of getting to know.  It isn’t always love at first sight but if you’re curious and willing to give it a little time, you’ll be glad you did.

You’ll find a different way of looking at the world and our place in it.  One that challenges established ways of thinking, stimulates new ideas and expands our vision of what’s possible. This site is all about spreading the word so here you’ll find:

• Information on famous abstract artists and their famous abstract art
• Abstract art ideas
• A guide to thinking outside the box when choosing art for your walls
• Tips on framing and hanging pictures

Fascinating, powerful, intriguing, mysterious, challenging, emotional, cool, colourful, ingenious, spiritual, innovative, controversial .
Just some of the words that spring to mind around this art form.   It’s also about energy and freedom.  With abstract art, you  get  to decide what meaning it has for you and you can choose to go anywhere you want with it.   That’s empowering.  You are the other half of the equation.  The painter paints from their vantage point and you interpret from yours but both experiences come from the heart.

You can’t fake it

Sometimes modern art, especially if it's abstract, is dismissed as the kind of art that ‘a four year old could do’.  But part of the joy of getting to know the art form and abstract artists, past and present, is discovering the real passion that comes through their work and recognising the integrity in their creative process.  That’s something that an artist just doesn’t fake and you can’t fake your response either.  A genuine emotional response is the all-important key to true art appreciation and that’s particularly true for abstract art.

Find the art that works for you.

Finding what you love is key.  We want to help you find abstract art that inspires you and strikes that emotional chord.   Art that will enhance your life and lift your spirits. 

The more art you look at, the clearer you are about what you like and don’t like so browse online, visit museums and galleries, check out local exhibitions.

Get to know the artists

Getting to know the artist is often the key to understanding and appreciating a work of art.  It can be a humbling experience to discover just how much of their emotional and spiritual selves  artists have invested in their paintings and one that frequently transforms how you see their art.

At other times, an artist’s use of colour and the energy of their brushwork are so potent in the finished painting that you feel the bond straight away, without any need  to know the artist at all.  Discovering more  about them as people is a bonus.

See what we mean by taking a look at some of these famous abstract artists and their work and discover which ones work for you and how we’ve experienced them.

Mix and match

This site is designed to provide a broad introduction to abstract art and to be a useful resource for you to discover and expand your knowledge of the art form.  But the joy of putting together an art collection is the opportunity it gives you to express yourself in all sorts of different ways.  So, explore all types of art and put art on your walls that reflects who you are and not what you think is on trend. 

Mix and match your styles.  Use vinyl wall art in your bathroom, put a metal sculpture in your garden, frame and display your kids’ art.  There are all sorts of unique and interesting ways to build up or add to your collection.  Be genuine, make it personal and ditch all the  rules.
