contemporary abstract watercolor paintings
In our artistic journey, we have come to see art not merely as a final product but as a process, a set of questions or a conversation.
The medium of choice here, abstract watercolour, embodies this approach as it’s actually not so much about painting, more curation, coaxing and encouraging.
To quote the great John Singer Sargent - watercolour painting is ‘making the best of an emergency’ and to this end the fluidity and unpredictability of the medium serve as a metaphor for the elusive nature of art itself—ever-changing, defying boundaries, and constantly redefined by the perspectives of both the creator and the onlooker.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Paul Klee and William Baziotes through exploration of their oeuvre, it came as something of a revelation that you don't have to stick to oil on canvas to embrace abstraction.
