Lyrical Abstraction

Lyrical Abstraction is an art movement from the late 20th century that emphasizes expressive, fluid, and spontaneous use of color and form. It moves away from precise realism and traditional techniques, focusing instead on capturing emotion and personal vision through loose brushwork and dynamic compositions. Think of it as visual poetry—art that conveys feelings and mood rather than exact details. This style often features vibrant colors and gestural strokes, creating a sense of movement and immediacy, inviting viewers to experience the artist’s inner experience in a direct, visceral way.
