Strong opinions on abstracts ehhh ???
. Yes surely I have, does not mean you stop creating them dear.....all I said was perceptual conceptualization RD, but I never said the image can not be conceptually singular. The former gives birth to a leading symbolic presentation, the latter provides more freedom and at times requires support to stand alone without contextual significance or reference, a support which the artist refuses to take, negates the need for support even..... am using this word a lot now.
A man wishes others to see him or understand him but does not wish to talk about it. He drowns himself in silence or hides behind the walls of unknown, these abstracts are those walls of unknown. You expect that u have not been seen or fear that u have been ignored ( which is your favorite expression ) but often artists trying to portray themselves through such creations have failed to notice others riding beside him. Abstraction is a psychological expression RD. If you are seen you may feel happy or you would immerse yourself in more of Chivas Regal.....I fear that my friend. I am myself scared of such expressions, I need support, I need my statements to be visible enough to carry my dignity as an artist. I can not wander in my mind feeling lost more and more in the turbulence of yes or no, confusions and lack of definitions. I love abstracts myself but with support of reference, more because if I fall then I can hold on to something. This is what I was telling you the other day.
