Abstract Artwork Series: Camouflage

A collection of personal work showcasing abstract art symbolic of feeling invisible by the style’s manifestation of form and ability to be ambiguous in presentation. Blending in as the world around you is indiscernible but alluring in the same sense as the subject, represented through similar shape language and color showcases how you & your surroundings can camouflage and become indistinguishable from one another. Camouflage, especially ones represented in nature holds beauty represented in the works through color while incorporating a camouflage’s intention to conceal, protect, hide and mask the user from danger.

When relating this idea to abstract artwork, they correlate because of both’s ability to masquerade underlying meanings that give way to conceptuality and depth contrasted by the two-dimensionality of the style. Color masks as easily as the shape language used, both in tandem relate directly to patterns seen in nature used to camouflage. Nature is a form of escape for many, using my own as inspiration for this series which includes canyons, mountains and greenery just atop an urban valley also indicative of the artwork’s intention. Usually the subject matter and the background are comprised of different applications so each stands out, but in this case they’re very similar in order to highlight the implications of blending into the background and its advantages. You aren’t any less you for not standing out and by not doing so energy can be focused into parts of your universe untapped and unseen by others, parts of you that need not be shown but loved and lived in just the same.
