Quiet Moments...

Quiet Moments...What are they you might ask, I wonder do you ever manage to get any time to sit and take five? 
I read recently that one of the reasons people buy Abstract art, is because it offers emotional value.
An emotional connection through line, colour, and texture, which allows you to connect on a deeply personal level.
That's the difference between representational artwork and the abstract; where the viewer is able, in fact encouraged to use their own imagination and freedom of thought to find the meaning most personal to them.
I always find it interesting to hear what someone see's in a piece...I often think it's a bit like seeing shapes in the clouds, there's a name for that - Pareidolia, the psychological (and completely normal) phenomenon where we see recognizable shapes in clouds or rock formations.

But what is perhaps more interesting is how a piece makes you feel - that subtle emotional connection from the artist to the viewer, I think that is why Abstract art has timeless appeal, not only does it serve as a decorative tool, it also has the power to enhance the mood of a room, depending on the piece, creating vibrant busy energy, or calming quiet moments...
