Reconsidering the role of text in abstract art
Share
In my previous post, I expressed a strong preference for pure abstraction, believing that it holds a more powerful impact without the presence of words. While I still stand by that sentiment, I’ve come to appreciate the value of incorporating text in a way that enhances abstract artworks.
Writings, like the ones I’ve shared, can be intriguing and appealing when they are intentionally unreadable. This approach adds another layer of complexity to the artwork, inviting viewers to engage with the piece on a deeper level. The ambiguity of the text complements the abstract forms and colors, encouraging personal interpretation while maintaining the essence of abstraction.
This realization has opened my mind to new possibilities in my artistic practice. Rather than seeing text as a distraction, I now view it as a potential element that can enrich my work, creating a dialogue between the visual and the written. I’m excited to explore how incorporating these unreadable writings can enhance my abstract pieces and contribute to the overall experience of my art.
