Abstract (EN)
Art has sustained its existence throughout history with numerous different forms of expression until today. Abstract art is one of the significant forms of expression within the history of art. Abstract pursuits began with artists moving away from visible, perceivable and compreshensible forms. The rules of conventional painting style in art history were abandoned, giving way to invisible realities instead of visible ones. Abstract concepts that are pure, absolute and spiritual have given rise to the pursuit of expressing internal realities and sensations, resulting in the emergence of abstract art and its forms. In abstract art, emotions and thoughts are intended to expressed objectless and directly, and artists have distanced themselves from all kinds of object and figurative appearances to achieve these expressions. They have accomplished the expression of the spiratual by purning it from representational forms and employing a significantly simple attiude in their forms. The forms and shapes used by abstract artists consist of simple lines, pure color areas, and fre and limitless painting techniques without representation. Abstract expressions have also brought about limitlessness. While artists gain possibilities such as unlimited imagination, design, and formal form, viewers are presented with an unlimited and free realm of perception. Artists, who claim that absolute and true existence lies in the depths of internal emotions, have brought forth abstract art forms by purging spiritiual images from external appearances. They have preffered formal simplicity to reach the purest and truest. With simple and plain abstract forms, a limitless realm of thought has been created that is timeless and spaceless. The various styles of abstract art and artist techniques have brought and continue to bring forth free and limitless simple forms.
