Abstract (EN)

The concept of "coincidence", which describes what is obtained on the basis of an encounter or coincidence that is not based on information, demand, rules or a certain reason, contains a possible situation at every moment of daily life. The reason why coincidence is often met with excitement in human life is that it occurs unexpectedly and can create awareness that can cause a new formation. The fields of science, philosophy and art have also witnessed many developments, inventions and inventions as a result of coincidence. It is known that the artist made discoveries outside of fiction or during fiction in the process of creation and opened the door to many new trends. However, it was the Dada movement that consciously featured it for the first time thanks to their stance against the tradition of improvisation and coincidence. The improvised tendencies of surrealists who turned to the subconscious under the influence of the dada shifted the subjective approach of art in an abstract direction. The effect of coincidence clearly shows itself in the transition phase from concrete to abstract. This perception, which is shaped independently of each other throughout Europe, has created abstract art. Many factors, such as migrations due to the influence of war, brought abstract art to America and the foundations of American abstract art were laid in this way. The perception and subjectiveness of the period at the forefront also expected improvisation and coincidence as the most important tool of abstract thought in self-existing. While the process in which concrete is developed into abstract is a priority in making the "moment" visible as an artistic performance, the unknownness of the moment has always been and will continue to be an inderable coincidence as part of art.
