Abstract painting is a 20th century art form that tries to describe thoughts, emotions or concepts of time through visual representation. The style can take almost any form, lines, shapes, colours - even the addition of objects such as sand, paper, or anything that comes to the artists imagination.


The above example from the work of Jackson Pollock is a sublime example of how brilliant this artform can be when handled by a great artist.
