What type of art do you prefer? When selecting wall decor for the rooms of your home, choosing specific pieces can seem like a daunting task. So many styles of decor have existed throughout the history. One of the most common and fascinating types, is abstract one. When we think of it, we tend to think of paintings and sculptures. However, a wide variety of mediums can feature abstract art. However, a wide variety of mediums can feature it.To have a better appreciation for abstract art, we should understand precisely what it is.

The range of meanings of abstract art can be quite broad. However, a precise definition would be: types of Western art of the 1900s, which: A) discard representation and B) have no starting points or finishing points within nature. It is important to note that it is completely a modern form. The reason is that the art itself is abstract. In other words, the abstraction is not based on a particular object or nature itself.

When did Abstract Art begin? Towards the end of the 1800s, artists began to reject the idea of art reproducing objects and nature. Rather, they started to focus on the notion of revealing one’s thoughts and unconsciousness. Today, this type is presented in various forms, such as wall art. This did not begin as a specific art form. Instead, it evolved parallel to other movements (i.e. Cubism, Expressionism, and Fauvism).

The Russian painter Vasily Kandinsky often receives credit for being the first artist to paint exclusively using Abstract Art. That was during roughly 1910. Then from roughly 1915-1920, it became more popular due to the Netherlands’ De Stijl group.

The idea quickly grew in popularity in the U.S., due to two European exhibitions in the early 1900s. The first one was in New York (1913), while the second one was in San Francisco (1917). During this period, several young American painters, such as Georgia O’Keeffe, began to experiment by using new artistic styles. Between World War I and World War II, Abstract Art continued to grow. In fact, by the 1930s it had become Western art’s most typical attribute.

After World War II, the art form Abstract Expressionism had been born in the United States. In fact, it was greatly impacting American and European sculptures and paintings.

In the 1950s, the Minimalism became the primary catalyst of Abstract Art. Some of today’s abstract wall art portrays this artistic style. This form was simpler and less personal than its previous variations. Within time, its focus developed into exploring the connection between forms and colors. By the dawn of the 21st century, art forms such as conceptual and figurative art had become as significant as Abstract Art.

When selecting wall decoration for our homes, we have a choice of several contemporary wall hangings. Consider using Abstract Art as a way to spruce up your home’s rooms. It can have a concretely amazing effect!

One particular Scottish artist who fits this mold and is on constant exhibition at Artery Gallery with his works, is professional Lanarkshire artist Derek Collins. Derek creates stunning works of abstract art by pouring carefully selected special resins, powders, pigments and liquids on to canvas. His creations really come to life when the main ingredient is added, fire!

Derek?s art is an extension of the specialist paint effects he has been applying for many years. He says, ?I love the way other paints and lacquers affect one another, if one paint is not compatible the other paint does not want to touch it so it moves away or breaks the weaker paint and forms another effect. When you then add the thinners of different paints, another reaction takes place, too much thinner will make it flow out but set it alight and it will evaporate the thinners and seal off the paints.?

As well as these paints and lacquers, Derek has used all kinds of extra materials in his art, from sand and shards of glass to leaves and moss. Customers can even provide specific stones, gems and personal photographs that can be incorporated into the artwork. Recently he was approached by a woman who had come across his flaming art, and asked him to incorporate her mother?s ashes into a painting. Being an incredibly sensitive matter, it?s something Derek took on with great pride and care. He says ?Quite often people are left with loved ones ashes and are not quite sure what to do with them. Using the ashes in a painting is a great way to commemorate a life, and creates something close and personal that can be kept in the home and more importantly in the family for years and years to come.?

Even in his early years as a decorator, Derek’s forte was the use of colour, but he has always had the passion to experiment and create. What he is achieving now with his art has just been a natural progression, all stemming from many years ago when he was experimenting with decorative paint effects on his stone floors. Now he has all the freedom of expression he desires to create, on canvas, these fine works of contemporary abstract art.

Artery Gallery has been a major supporter of contemporary Scottish artists over the years and continues to boost artist profiles, such as that of Derek Collins. Derek has made giant leaps forward in recent years and his art is very much recognized and highly sought after across Scotland and the UK.

Derek is on constant exhibition at Artery Gallery in both Crieff and St Andrews.
