About Abstract Oil Painting Artists In New York City

By Timothy Wright


An abstract painting can easily brighten up any area in a home or business. This type of art fits in so well because the subject matter is fluid and interpretation is made by the viewer. Although not commonly completed in oils, there are abstract oil painting artists in the city of New York. These painters create museum quality art at prices that fit into any budget.

The process of painting with oils is a bit more difficult than with other mediums. This paint and the thinners and cleaners used with it do have a strong odor that puts off some artists. It also takes a long time to dry and impatient artists may decline to use this method for just that reason. Watercolor and acrylic dry in a very short time and are more commonly used.

Some artists like the fact that oil paint takes longer to dry. This gives the artist ample time to blend colors and change the way the painting looks before it dries. This paint can take weeks to dry properly. The colors of this type of paint are often richer and deeper than acrylics and watercolors.

Oil painting is the traditional type of painting, used by classic artists. This type of artistry has been around since the fifteenth century. Botticelli and da Vinci both worked in this medium. It is durable and resists fading. Much artwork from past centuries still looks great because in was painted with oils.

Art is a field full of opinions. Many people feel that the predecessor to abstract art was the impressionist movement. These pictures often looked undefined or unfinished. It was usually easy to see what the subject of the painting was, however. Monet and other painters used this method, using bright splashes of color and integrating light into the scene.

Romanticist and expressionist painters were also an influence on this style. The expressionist style is highlighted by bright colors and exaggerated figures. Romanticists were more realistic in their artistic renditions, but did paint freely based upon emotion. This was an amazing breakthrough, as it allowed artists to abandon reality and paint based on their imagination.

Throughout history, some form of loosely rendered art has existed. By nature, cave paintings are often abstract. Although is can be simple to determine what they artist was trying to represent, the renditions were often not realistic. Although true abstract art is not representative of a particular subject, primitive paintings still factor in this equation. Symbols and lines are also forms of art and are often seen in antiquated pieces.

The style of modern abstract art takes many forms. Some pieces of art are easy to interpret while others take time and thought to discern meaning. Both the artist and the viewer may have an opinion on whether or it constitutes art. Every person may have a different opinion. This is the beauty of this type of painting, and makes it fit in varying environments.
