Abstraction is not simply defined, this concept brings together different artistic approaches whose purpose is to express themselves through a non-figurative representation of reality. The artist will evoke an emotion, a feeling, an experience from reality, a wonder, a questioning, finally all that can take shape in his being. The work can escape its creator and take its own form, its own expression. Abstract art uses a language of great freedom.
Abstraction has developed for more than a century through different artistic currents: geometric abstraction, abstract expressionism, lyrical abstraction, the informal, tachisme, etc., and many artists who have become famous representatives of it.
Today this movement keeps all its strength, its dynamics and its freshness, and is indeed one of the great contemporary artistic movements. Abstract art, like other forms of artistic expression, is not dissociated from the current context, climate crisis, economic, social crises, and wars. Art is a response to what goes through us but also a way to act by sharing a vision of the world. Abstraction continues its way, deepening its means of expression and its different techniques and materials.
The abstraction section presents a wide range of the different currents of abstraction through the works of solid artists and representative of today’s trends. I hope that you will have as much pleasure to discover all these works as I had to compose this section.
