Um, what? Just saying discuss isn't going to get anyone to say much.

I seem to get mixed up between what counts as Abstract and what counts as Impressionistic, etc.

Oh boy here we go

I plan on making my debut in my art career through the medium that is abstract art.

I plan on taking fast food and smearing it on a canvas in an impressionist style spelling the words "cholesterol kills" . And if that gets done before I make my debut I plan on using excrement to write the word angst on a canvas with a photo of their work side by side in my self righteous indignation.

Anyone else think that it's brilliant in it's simplicity and yet emotionally complex?

Alternatively, semen body paint.

I think I'll just regurgitate some milk and sell the floorboards I do it on for a million dollars a piece.

ITT Shoebox's and Repartee's

ITT Shoebox's and Repartee's ideas of "Abstract" art comes from media stereotypes of people who either missed the point of the Dadaist movement or are screwing with art dealers out of shenanigans.

I hosted an art contest you know, I judged scribbles.

ITT people take scribbles on oversized canvas too seriously.

ITT Shoebox has probably been exposed to a few too many tryhards

say, I don't recall if any of the art contest entries ever verged into abstract territory.

Also I'm calling it, next rare spawn in the game will be a De Stijl Chromalisk

I am ITT as you are ITT and you are me and we are all ITT together.

suddenly I am reminded that I should probably make more SK fanart involving Spookatgirls.

Don't have any good ideas for it yet though.

I never used to sleeptag. Now I've just plain stopped sleeping.

I've had somebody I don't know, have never met and probably never will meet, tag my nickname on the wall of the building across the street.
In the same style of self-made font I created for a prototype logo for my diploma class that nobody else has seen.
It's long since been removed by graffiti patrol, but it certainly left an impression on me.

The question is: Is it abstract art?
And what the hell kind of coincidence is this?

Edit: Forgot my ITT. So here it is: ITT.

This is just a WIP so don't judge me so hard
Here's something i've been working on for a couple years

I call it "My life as a Utopian Emperor" It's a commentary on the state of the world and class separation
Something about corporations and the complexity of the soul also i think
Not 100% since i was totally baked while working on it
Enjoy!

To add some actual content here, I'm pretty awful at art myself, but I do enjoy it. Your 4th link is my favourite and you blatantly have more patience than I do.

lolno

Most of the symmetrical stuff in my gallery is artificially so, actually. Only half that image was drawn and painted IRL, and then it was shopped. Possibly the laziest thing ever.

From what I understand,

From what I understand, abstract art's pretty much anything that's meant to be surreal and not too grounded in reality. So it's pretty broad.

Off the top of my head: Superflat, De Stijl, surrealism, and some minimalism I like. I've also got a fondness of word collages (ASCII art is included) and little geometric shapes making up larger images. I think you can call some tessellations abstract if they're not meant to represent those found in nature, right?

I can't get into cubism at all. It's just not at all appealing to me. Oh Picasso. Yeah, something like this would totally flatter my lover's figure. And Brice Marden's scribbles too. Though, I have to admit I like his paintings of stripes.
