Australian Abstract by Amber Creswell Bell

There is no single neat definition of abstract art. It makes no attempt to represent reality; instead it has it's own visual language using shape, colour and form with no rules. An explosion of creative expression and gestural force, Australian Abstract explores the constantly evolving genre and how it offers unparralleled artistic freedom, inviting deeply personal connection and interpretation from both artist and viewer. Works often straddle a mid-point between recognition and the sensed experience through materiality of paint encompassing a pastiche of styles.
