As a child, I was always intrigued by the abstract forms depicted on the canvas while visiting Art Exhibits. I still remember, one particular painting where there was a big eye staring out at you while a torso was painted upside down and each of viewer has his own viewpoint as what the artist was trying to say through the painting. Views were from spiritual to insane.
And I think, that is the most interesting part of Abstract Art. It is interactive in nature.It involves the viewer n the artist both alike. Whereas in figurative art, a viewer decides how good the figure has been painted but never has to be told what is there on the canvas. But a piece of contemporary art is quite capable of starting a conversation between the artist, the viewer and the subject matter. And this fact i like very much and prefer to express myself that way.
