I just love, love, love your work. I have just within this last year learned that building layers is so important, and not to fall in love with early images but bravely push forward. Making abstract art is hard work. Thank you so much for this!

I love the lines, colors ,imagination it takes to produce abstracts. I certainly appreciate the extraordinary talent of many "traditional" painters but I won't have one in my home. I prefer to look at abstracts. Seeing beyond "scribbles" is what it's all about. You don't have to like it, just like I don't like literal art but you should be able to see beyond the literal and recognize the abstract artist is indeed producing art. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it less of an art form.

@eddiegalon3714 5 жыл бұрын

This "representational" artist agrees with you. People have to just chill. I like it all. Although the artists that pumps out fifty "nonrepresentational" paintings in three weeks while I labor on one in the same time period does annoy me. It's my choice I guess (to create the kind of art I create). I tried painting purely non representational (I hate the word abstract) and although I liked the results I found I got nothing out of the process. The paintings in the end meant nothing to me. Maybe it's ego, but I need my works to mean something to me, and I couldn't try to find meaning in just colors, lines, textures, or shapes. But, that's just me. To each their own.

This is decorating more than art. You cant just randomly bumble about with some paint till you get something reasonably aesthetic, and then apply a meaning to it when its done. Jackson Pollock, who I think she tried to compare herself to, created paintings to illustrate his inner turmoil, with brilliant results. I guess this artist has achieved the same thing, tedious squares.

I agree. It seems that she is not making it for a reason per se. She isn't making paintings to make a statement or anything but seems to be painting for the sake of painting (and profit) and then pulling "meaning" out after. Not that there is anything wrong with that but it isn't what many think when they think about being an "artist".

If you could choose tracks that don't require a viewers attention so much, that would be appreciated (by me at least). Thanks and all the best.

And the funny thing is that people nowdays believe they are being modern and innovative doing what pollock did 60-70 years ago. In my opinion it's not the same as painting a still life (done from ancient years) where you can truly be different through colour, drawing , composition etc. I have, unfortunately the belief that most of the modern artists, not all, but most of them, do not have knowledge. They are all ''decisions'' and ''expression'' but don't know what is going on at all.

yeah. You're right, Rebecca. you're being honest that it's hard work and a great mental and emotional effort goes into producing real artwork... the real thing has to really take something out of you I wouldn't dream of using a roller but when you used it as depicted in the video, it worked with that transparent white... and then that whisk broom (!)... what the... but it worked -- so we can surmise the role of artist gets deeper - Nevelsonesque - 2cause the mind of observers2do artwork too.

playing? I am so offended by that statement. Take a good look at abstract art, and the artists behind them. Get yourself some supplies and try reproducing some abstracts you've seen Only then will you see how much "playing" is involved. Can I and many abstract painters paint "traditional" paintings? You betcha. We choose not to. You find it hard to respect abstract painters because you don't understand it. I find it hard to respect opinions from anyone who makes such a statement.

@DG-mv6zw 5 жыл бұрын

Dee Dee No, it's not generally disrespected because the public don't understand it. It's generally disrespected by the public because the artist frequently doesn't understand it, or is unable to rationalize it in a clear and articulate manner! This is the price we pay for subjectivising meaning in art. Consequently, you have no more grounds to object to someone else's critique, than you do to state that it's a wonderful painting. One cannot make an objective claim about a work which the artist insists is subjective. Therein lies your dilemma. (Incidentally, I speak as an abstract artist myself)

@eddiegalon3714 5 жыл бұрын

The artist themselves couldn't reproduce their own abstract paintings because that IS exactly what they are doing, playing. Many of them use that very word often to discribe their process. Get off your hi horse. Some art is very easy to create and takes little time and effort while other artist spend months and months laboring on their creations. It doesn't make them better or worse. The end result and how the viewers respond to the work is all that matters.
