Abstract VII (2014) Digitale Kunst door Novak

In the beginning, I painted. Oils and acrylics. On canvas, paper, board, anything I could find. It was a wonderful time, and then it wasn't. I stopped painting for a very long time. I did other things. I was an actor, a writer, a cowboy, a businessman. I worked on the railway in Australia, raised chickens in Israel and was an interior designer in Mexico. Eventually, I found my way back. But now it is different. A computer screen is my canvas and pixels are my paint. It is work unlike anything I have ever done before. I hope that you enjoy seeing it, as much as I enjoy doing it. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art, are closely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.
