Abstraction, in its literal sense translates to a visual language of form, colour and line; thereby creating a composition that may or may not exist. I interpret it as a non objective, non representational, non figurative elucidation of a departure from reality with a fair degree of independence from the common visual and perceptible references in the world. The departure can be slight, partial or complete. Perhaps anything that is recognizable is not abstract in the true sense, yet it provokes your intellect and mind to perceive beyond the known and the identifiable commonalities of human expressions and forms.
Not all of us may be able to live Picasso in our real lives; yet, the surreal and the real merge outside the boundaries of reason in an unplanned scheme of events and one day, from what may seem logically “absurd” evolves a new form...an abstraction, independent of predecessors, contemporaries or followers. I see the blueness of heaven in this...you may visualize the deep intense pain.
I seek the light through the blue outside, you may look within and find a light.
Very nicely written and thought provoking too. I was reading on Quantum Mechanics(physics) the other day and was thinking about reality a lot. Perception plays a big part in what we percieve as reality...You said it right, an unihibited mind may be the key to reality and beyond!!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the posting. Thanks for sharing.

Harold Bloom might contest that.But yes,Ananya,is it not a "transcendental signified"? Question of reception may well veer round the the universals positing an abstract notion of an work of time.Contingencies of time somewhere blur and Time and No-time or an extra-temporality take over.We see something 'as'.Svetlana Alpers so thoughtfully said.Somehow we see through...beyond.A phenomenological reading of abstract art might offer a new consciousness of art's possibilities.It's time we searched layers into the blue sky....the gorge here is nothing less than an abyss of time or timelessness.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite.....My little magazine....
ReplyDeleteIn metaphysic, reality is always material reality, hard, resistant, unformed, impenetrable n unpleasant. a theory must be tempered with reality....
The Blue reality, the Silver Illusion, Could the dreams hold to futality, As facts hover on hallucination????????????????????? Beautiful Ani................
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a very profound, reflective and touching piece of work. Hats off to you. That is why I like to read your work soo much. After readi9ng this, I went back to your AmiAnanya and read The Zahir once again......thanks so much for sharing with us such piece of writing..”"
ReplyDeleteis there really anything real ??? aren't we conditioned to follow and believe the known logic and reasoning,our vision tunneled ........... its a great relief to read your views ........... i like your unreal reality !!
ReplyDeleteOn account of your surreal abstractism, I must say that the painting adds a real dimension to it. Without it I would be thoroughly lost in the alley of imperceptibles. Being a conventional commoner- more frequent than even Rabindranath’s “Shadharon Meye”’s kind, I am to a certain extent, sluggish to fathom anything that goes beyond the crude earthly reality. But at the same time I appreciate and admire one’s endeavour to comprehend the non reprensentational expressions. It’s indeed a deep writing! Thanks for sharing with me.

ReplyDelete''Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage...''
''Even the recognition of an individual whom we see every day is only possible as the result of an abstract idea of him formed by generalization from his appearances in the past...'' :-)
