Abstract Art - The Beauty Of A Touch

Whether you are drawing or painting, touch has always been an important element in anyone’s art especially when it comes to abstract art. Lately people artists work on pen and ink drawings, using Zig memory calligraphy pens and Koh-in-noor fine tipped pens for fine lines.

Therefore, viewing much of the current Art produced today, many people will refer to it, colloquially, as Abstract Art. However, Modern Art has many facets, and there have been many different styles and concepts, which have brought around metamorphic changes, within Abstract Art, since the beginning of the twentieth century.

An abstract art as the name suggests is intangible in concept and style and open to many interpretations and is very subjective. While many find abstract art work complicated and not as refined as a good old straight forward art work like the painting of natural scenery in the form of flowers or landscape, there are many others who find this form of art intriguing and intellectually challenging.

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist.

Art can be bought in many different forms, one very in vogue at the moment is canvas art. The canvas is stretched over a wooden frame and oil or acrylic paint can be used or even mixed media. The canvas stands away from a wall and enables the painting area to go right to the edge. Painting around the edges can also be done for an enveloped look.

Art is the perfect gift for someone very special. Some artists offer the service of recreating a memorable photo into oil or acrylic. This is a highly personal and special gift and something completely unique. Such a service has been enabled to be found through the internet. The internet has been the most influential part in enabling art to be reached to the masses and now being more accessible. Galleries that were once confined to purely the premises can now sell and advertise their work online and reach the whole country in fact, the world. Artists that may not have been able to afford a gallery premises can now sell their art online, reaching a far wider audience. In the respect of the consumer, a huge variety of artistandrsquo;s styles, genres, media and themes can be chosen from. Mail order has enabled the artwork to be sent when collection is not obtainable.

Its evident at the end of the day that the touch can make an effect to the society’s beauty.
