O Grito do Peixe (2013) Painting by Wasem

Wasem painting's is geometric abstraction. The work combines geometric shapes in non-illusionistic spaces into non-objective compositions (non-representations). In geometric abstraction, common shapes and images are repurposed into a cohesive piece that tells a story on its own. Art of this kind is usually non-referential, meaning that it exists independently of external influences. We are naturally inclined to describe and name what we see and experience in the world. As a result, geometric abstract art, with its unrecognizable subjects, colors, and lines, can be challenging. Historically, geometric abstraction has appeared in many cultures (e.g., Navajo) as decorative motifs and as art pieces. The Islamic art, which forbade depicting figures, is an essential example of this geometric pattern-based art. Islamic art existed centuries before the movement in Europe and greatly influenced this Western school.
