Hiding in the Shed
Abstracts, you love them or you hate them. Abstracts are a combination of shape and color used in a non-representational way. It can consist of the clamor of forms and colors if Wassily Kandinsky to the simplicity of Branett Newman. Your reaction to these elemental components can be as powerful as any landscape by Ansel Adams or a press photograph by Weegee.
The photograph presented here is an abstract that can be interpreted like the clouds. The viewer can see what they want to see within the flowing patterns. I see three fish swimming upstream, your imagination may take you other places. I find it interesting that there are three distinct shapes and the one with the dominant color, red, is located two thirds of the way up from the bottom of the frame. The background with its waves and swirls depicts movement and fluidity.
You can’t say an abstract is right or wrong. Like all art it’s in the eye of the beholder.

I like this abstract photograph, because it is a vivid
expression and lets your mind determine what you want
to see. Would no doubt make a nice print on a wove
or fabric paper, in color of course. Keep up your
expressionism. Nice work.
