Nonobjective art

This represents a non-objective piece of art of consisting of multiple diverse forms joined together to form a sculpture.   The piece is listed on deviantart.com by Kiara.

Figurative Representation

I believe this to be an example of figurative representation in that the image uses a variety of connectied geometric shapes unified to form a simple cat image.  I found this image on the internet.

Repetition/Variety

I think this image is a good example of repetition/variety in both the mountain range in the background and the trees in the foreground.  The mountains and trees with the multiple forms yet similar in their shapes and "design."  I searched for an image of a mountain range and found this on the internet.

Chaotic

I believe this photograph is a good example of the chaotic copncept where there is no real concentration point and leaves you with a sense of dissatisfaction.  Since there is no real focal point, you tend to bounce around all of the runners looking for one.  I googled for a marathon start on the internet and found this image.

Continuation

 
 
This sculpture is a good example of the use of continuation of lines to form the image of a female holding a hoop or disc. The use of flowing lines moves you through the image and subsequently to the identification of the sculpture.  I searched the internet for sculptures and found this particular piece interesting and decided to use it as the example.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Use of the Grid

This is an example of the use of a grid.  When you first look at the piece, you are immediately drawn to the perfect positioning of the squares within the image although there are multiple shapes and colors.  I searched the internet for grid designs and found this one interesting in its use of squares and shapes.

Repetition/Similarity

 

The old NBC icon represents the use of repetition/similarity with the multiple peacock feathers all shaped alike creating the background.  Though generally basic, the feathers and susbsequent use of color bounced the image with repetitious use of color and shape.  I googled for the old NBC icon and found this image.

An example of Proximity...

I think Picasso's "Three Musicians" is a good example of proximity, making separate elements looking as if they belong together...this collage type painting  uses different shapes to form the three.  I was familiar with this piece by Picasso and felt it was a good representation.

Two Dimensional Design

In my humble opinion, it is the most simplest form or art that I call the perfect two dimensional design.  It is that piece that makes stop and wonder how such simplicity can relate to so many...





The Creation

There is a real need in me to understand the mind of an artist (I am married to one) and their view of the world.  I have been privileged to witness a constant barrage of thoughts spilling onto a sketch pad and then seeing those sketched images slowly develop into an embellished piece of art.  This has created in me a desire to understand the passion and creativity of an artist.  With over 25 years experience in the business world I can honestly say I have never observed the level of passion and creativity that precedes and subsequently follows each brush stroke made by an artist.
