    The Importance Of Abstract Paintings In Your Home

    By Karen Russell


    There are so many things involved with the creation of art. The peculiar thing about the best artworks is how the best creations and artists come from certain places. At least this is true to the most notable ones. In the United States, New York and Los Angeles seem to produce the ones that gets noticed the most by many important curators.

    Throughout the cultural evolution of mankind, visual representation has always chronicled our way of living. It is a safe bet to say that civilization has started with abstraction, since detailed study about life has not really been the priority then. Now, since priorities have changed, there has been a change especially with LA abstract paintings and their themes. This, of course do not limit to those pieces found in Los Angeles.

    Technicalities are always quite meticulous when it comes to art but it main purpose has always been expression. One does not necessarily have to be an enthusiast to pick a great painting for their home. As long as it means something to you, then that should be what you hang on a wall. This is not a matter of price, either. Unless of course, you mean to show off your wealth.

    The thing with abstraction is that there is no concrete life form visual and accurate representation that immediately makes the subject recognizable, if even there is a subject at all. Abstract in its essence is a matter of composition consisting of well placed shapes and colors. While this may be true it does not stop it from holding so much meaning and life.

    Contemporary artists have the potential to do really well in Los Angeles given that there are many galleries and avenues that cater to abstraction. There are so many reasons why you want to buy some abstract art for your home or any space that you deem important to your existence. Now this is not some quip about why you should support art and its artists, although that is already a given and can be passed of as, well, moral obligation to culture.

    Sure a 10 year old can do it, but they would not be able to on the original scale of the piece, much more with its political meaning. Contemporary artists best flourish in the cities these days. Technology and the invention of different materials have allowed people to come up with new and different mediums to play with.

    Sadly, so many paintings out there get sold for millions and they are just a work of laziness. It is absurd to look at that some pieces that get displayed in galleries are just made for the shock factor. These types tend to be questionable pieces. For those art enthusiasts and those struggling to make their way up such a competitive field, it can be quite unfair.

    Many would like to accuse abstract art as just splatters on a canvas, or random shapes with colors not carefully thought of. This can be so far from the true, although, truthfully, there may be some works by amateurs that are merely just random strokes. This is called lazy and pretentious art, which is what you want to look out for.

    The artist and the artisan are not the same. The former does it for the expression the later does it for the craft. While both may be driven by love and passion, the former may not always bring happiness that the latter always does. Those pieces that you find in Bath and Beyond may look as profound as a Pollock, but a real Pollock is created with precision and math, not random splatters on a canvas.
