An abstract composition is a joy
to behold; for its every look and feel generates new imagery…
I once read that an abstract
painting isn't finished yet, if the first thought that comes to the mind of the
viewer, is analytical. Then again, it is firmly believed that abstraction comes
from realism. Only, when an artist can perceive and portray realism in his work,
can he accomplish a good abstract. This is perhaps the most significant difference between the
abstract art of an established artist vs. that of a learner.
Student or otherwise, when we address abstract art,
what we see and appreciate is the juxtaposition of form, colour, and space
division in tandem with the selection of subject and the tools and techniques
employed. Basics speak of a focus, balance, rhythm, and perspective in
the compositional abstract of a student. And added to that is the
element of light.

Yet, abstract art has an
elemental quality – one that aids in the depiction of various things to various
people. Whatever the starting point, a thought, subject or even concept goes
through an amazing metamorphosis from the point from where it began to it
reaching the canvas or paper. This expression may often be a strong idea that
the artist wants to convey or emphasize; or may allude to an underlying
concept, veiled by layers of overt manifestation. Such an abstract holds the
eye and touches the inner recesses of one’s mind, making one want to repeatedly
enjoy the art. Also, its depiction varies with the viewers and with the same
viewer at different times.
Lastly, one must acknowledge the occurrence of ‘accidental
excellence’ in art. What may have started off as one thing may well become
several others on the way, finally resulting in an ultimate bonanza – a
happening.
