A quick note about multiple images in one post:

22 Upvotes

If one or several of the pictures break any of the rules here the entire post gets removed even if there are images that don’t break any rules. For example: if you post many abstract images but the last image is a perfectly anatomical skull it will all get removed.

Abstract vs Expressionism

22 Upvotes

We get a lot of submissions here that fit into the expressionism genre much more than the abstract genre, but there is occasionally some crossover. When you think of an abstract-expressionist like Basquiat it’s hard to say because he added text to his pieces that his work isn’t abstract. So what’s too much text to be considered abstract? Most often the pieces that are filled with text that get posted to this sub get removed.

We try to be open here to a large variety of abstract art and we really don’t want this sub to become another r/expressionistArt sub. There’s enough room on Reddit to be as niche as we try to be.

We’d like to know what you think. Please keep it civil, we can all stand the chance to learn something from one another’s views on this matter.

Cheers.

That's Not Very Flattering

We’ve all had those moments where you’re wearing something you really love — the colors, the fit, the vibe just feels right. You feel like yourself. Confident. Comfortable.

And then someone decides to throw their opinion in: “That’s not very flattering.”

It’s wild how quickly that kind of comment can pull you out of your joy, as if what you wear is meant for someone else’s approval instead of your own. This piece came from sitting with that feeling — the way a single remark can sour something that was making you feel good.

Have you ever had someone ruin a moment like that for you?

My piece, “all seeing i”.

This was the result of my daily 10min sketch sessions and I’m very happy with how it came out! I plan using this as a base for a very big piece soon :) 👁️
