Painting Sluice in winter

Contemporary abstract showing winter landscape with the sluice connecting two lakes. Painted by a talented painter with a degree in Fine Arts Academy.

Raw, cold colors reflect frosty winter, where the omnipresent ice and snow reign. I used brush and acrylic paints. In addition signed on the front, protected with a fixative, certificate of authenticity

Abstract Art

Most of all abstract art creates a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. It was caused by the need of creation a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy going through the end of the 19th.

Finally abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. Furthermore this departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete.

Minimalism

Firstly minimalism is a style that uses pared-down design elements. Secondly it raised most strongly in 1960s and early 1970s. Thirdly it derives from the reductive features of Modernism and seems like a reaction against abstract expressionism and a bridge to post-minimalism art practices.

Finally, outstanding artists associated with minimalism include Donald Judd, John McCracken, Agnes Martin, Dan Flavin, and Robert Morris.
