Gestural Painting

Gestural painting is an artistic technique where the emphasis is on the physical act of creating the artwork. Artists use dynamic, expressive brushstrokes or gestures to convey emotion, movement, and spontaneity. This approach often results in works that highlight the process and energy of painting itself, rather than precise details or realistic representation. It’s commonly associated with abstract art and artists like Jackson Pollock, who focus on the physical act of making art as a way to express inner feelings and immediacy. Essentially, it captures the artist's motion and emotion directly on the canvas.
