Abstract Oil Paintings

When photography came in to existence there was a thought that paintings and their value will diminish as paintings no longer portray reality more accurately. But with the evolution of abstract paintings this was thoroughly overcome. Abstract painting is non representational way of portraying one’s idea with a theme based on the effects of colors, depth, solidity, lines and other spatial factors on human and their emotions.

Abstract painting should have the composition and presentation with it to be offered to the viewers. The composition of Abstract painting should have a well balanced visual effect with right gesture and representation. Abstract paintings hence have a balanced state of color, line and space with a dynamic tension placed, the weight age of which should not be so well balanced that it becomes boring for its viewers.

Wassily Kandinsky is known to be the founder of abstract art who believed that science deals with dynamic forces ultimately revealing that matter is spiritual in character.

So when you come across an abstract oil painting don’t try to find out real world objects rather try to enter in to the world that is depicted in the painting. Relax and enjoy abstract paining by letting your eye wander through the colors its depth, the shape and the force which exists in the painting.
