Thank you for the compliment.
Regarding an exhibit; how do we bridge the geographical gap? We could do an exhibit electronically. A virtual exhibit, I suppose. One that members of the abstract circle could promote to all of our individual contacts. And maybe update at regular intervals, such as quarterly (every season). We would need someone to volunteer some computer expertise as well as a place to host the exhibit. There could be a mission statement that you as the founder of abstract circle could write. Something that suggests our mutual devotion to abstraction.

Now at this moment i can say that i belive so much in the power of the abstract!
the abstract not only express human feelings, express a non scientific demostration in wich the one who is painting an abstract expression is just linked with another reality that believe or not exist in this wiked apace time reality we live, science fiction is telling us a reality more or less like our, abstract express a reality much more far away, that exist far away or just here, and anything u can imagine is a gift and even more if u can express to others. my question is how this can happen? perhaps is the power of life!

I think if it's visual it's abstract necessarily, receptive people to the ocular sense of interpreting and connecting with the world are only a percentage of the population. We all relate to our surroundings in different ways of course, some people are very literal or aligorical or who-knows-what-ical.

I like the vision, i like the change, I like the simplified, organic organize. I don't even codify.

an abstract experience delays action which signify that the sentiment trigger processes of imagniation and contributes to aesthetical deeds /a

I find that the language of abstraction is universal. If someone feels an emotion or is moved in some way by one of my pieces, then the piece has communicated wonderfully. The only thing that I offer to viewers of my works is that which they bring themselves. Through abstraction I feel I am able to communicate things which are beyond mere language, but require all of my creative expression to evoke. In other words, words are not enough to communicate the universe to viewers, which is why I choose painting in abstraction. Abstraction allows the freedom to express aspects of the universe that defy words.

Namaste,

Abby

Yes, Abby, that's it in a nutshell - we paint abstractly (even those who also write), because words are not enough.

Abstract art to me, has always been mental imagery. Some of it is symbolic and some of it is a bit of whats called "auto painting", similar to auto writing...

I'm not sure about the invented language part... I don't like to qualify my audience in different "knowing" or "not knowing" segments, because I feel that artist have something to say, but the audience have their own agendas. Hence if someone sees my painting as awaking from a dream then fine, if another sees it as life after death, then thats ok too...
