Abstract art is one of the most expansive genres of art, encompassing a wide range of techniques and mediums. Abstract artists use a wide variety of colours, shapes and forms to evoke a feeling rather than portray a likeness.
It is a genre unlike any other because it is entirely subjective and open to interpretation. If you’re looking to add some new original paintings to your collection, try choosing an abstract piece.
The Zatista collection has a wide range of abstract pieces. Here are some featured abstract artists for you to discover:
German Abstract Painter Roger Konig
Roger Koenig is a German abstract painter based out of Bauhaus City Dessau. His work has an ethereal quality to it, using muted colours and monochromatic colour palettes. His paintings are done with acrylics on canvas.
“Koenig’s input medium for his work takes on many forms… antique walls, a nice patina, and aged textures which overlap years of existence fascinate him. These attributes, which are naturally obtained over time, are what Koenig attempts to represent within his work.”
American Abstract Artist Newel Hunter
Newel Hunter is an American abstract artist who works largely in black and white. He credits drawing his inspiration from a number of American and European artists: “Among them, Kline, Motherwell, Still, Hofmann, Richter, de Kooning and so many others. Pierre Soulages — with his concentration on the light reflecting qualities of black — has influenced me more than just about any other artist.”
“My art is all about experimentation, exploration and rolling the dice — allowing chance to play an important role in shaping the final product. I paint almost exclusively in acrylic on a variety of surfaces, employing a selection of non-traditional painting tools – many of which I make myself – to produce arresting images with a sense of depth and sculptural form.”
Greek Abstract Artist Maria Bacha
Maria Bacha is a Greek abstract artist that finds inspiration in the beauty of nature. Her medium of choice is acrylic paint combined with pigments and art resin. She plays with layers of composition by creating transparencies and textures.
“Nature is always my greatest inspiration. Nature inside us, around us, and further away. Yet, all is one. When I paint, I feel deeply connected with nature, the nature inside me and outside, and then time stops. It’s a blissful experience! I work in an artwork or in a group of artworks for a week, months or more.”
American Abstract Artist Christian Culver
Christian Culver is an American abstract artist. His unique style of art combines colour, shape and form with architectural ‘citygraphs’. The result is map-inspired pieces with geometric forms and bold colours.
“Today we see art and architecture of the past as nobody saw it before, we perceive it in a different way. All of us see hundreds of images everyday in the cities in which we live. In no other form of society in history has there been such a concentration of images, such a density of visual messages.”
American Painter and Mixed Media Artist Elena Disabato
Elena Disabato is an American painter and mixed media artist based out of Chicago. Her style of art is best described as “mid-century modern-meets-psychedelic abstraction, and surrealist figurative.”
“In abstraction I break down uncommon objects into both linear and amorphous forms – sometimes combined in the same composition. Figurative work is usually intertwined with an object or animal that evokes an unsettled feeling within sometimes traditional depictions of the human figure.”
Canadian Abstract Artist Gregg Simpson
Gregg Simpson is a Canadian artist whose work bridges the divide between surrealism and formal design. His abstract pieces are created through unorthodox methods such as placing the canvas on the ground and soaking it in water to allow the colours to flow.
“A work may evolve into a lyrical, atmospheric work, or one where formal structures of design suggest the figure, the landscape, or even still life, but re-interpreted into a purely imaginative realm, creating a personal, yet universal, world of forms, whose meaning changes with each viewer.”
Poland-Based Abstract Artist Karina Antonczak
Karina Antonczak is an abstract artist based out of Warsaw, Poland. She is a painter and an architect who creates work based on monotonic landscapes. Her work is open and symmetric, and features a strong attention to detail.
“I show a vision of a constructed world with my own words. To me, the relation between colours, lines, their weight, tensions and the forces ruling the composition are important. My paintings are an analysis of the relationships between space, mass, colour, surface and force.”
