The non representational art or – in a broader sense – abstract art non-referential nature could be somewhat baffling. The indirect, not directly indexical nature could be misleading and self-serving. The subject of the works are not a specific object, but their relations and characteristic, our understanding of it, and ideas.
Within the field of fine art self-reflection comes to the forefront, the questioning of medium and function; through colours and forms, or with the material chosen by the artist. Depiction after nature, and representation as such becomes a question within this system – while representing something in itself is an illusion.
We expect something from images, which we can recognize: abstraction in contrast reacts and comments on the process of recognition.
