Art has shaped us as a human society for as long as we have been here on this earth. It has been a way to show our creativity and express who we are individually as people. From music to theatre, throughout the years, art has had many forms and all of them have been unique in there own way. Out of all types of art, painting has always been one of the most popular methods of crafting simply due to the sheer amount of possibilities that any capable painter has based on their ability to perform. Of course, everybody likes some of the more famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa, or Starry Night, and ,although I love those paintings as well ,my favorite type of paintings are abstract paintings. Now most people would probably ask me what an abstract painting is ,and what I would tell them is that an abstract painting is one that uses perceptible language of any shape, form, color, or line to create a distinctive look that dosent exactly seem like anything anyone has seen before. This type of art to me is an utterance of freedom from the basic rules of what people expect to see. Those basic rules is whats called sensa, which is the qualities of objects or events that stimulate our sense organs. Most paintings and types of art usually stimulates in the same way, where abstract paintings invigorates you in a completely unique way by not focusing on making the picture seem real. One of the best examples of that and one of my favorite paintings is the Tink Tonk.
This painting, which was made in 1980 shows a sense of what I call beautiful disorder, especially in the way the painter patterns the colors. In order to create this look they used different substances such as pumice, volcanic rock, and powder with the paint to create a geometry like design. It’s neon asthetic also fits the time period very well too as neon was very trendy in the 80s.
