Geometric Abstraction and Painterly Automatism are two key types of Abstract Art. Geometric Abstraction refers to a style whose dominators are geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles and rounds, etc. While geometric abstraction emphasizes the conceptual, intellectual side of art, Painterly Automatism is about emotionality and spontaneity. "Painterly" refers to a seemingly unfinished technique of painting, in which the brushstroke remains clearly visible and serves as a means of expression. "Automatism" refers to the intuitive and spontaneous aspect of painting, as if the paint is applied without thinking.
For some, an abstract is an expression of something that has stirred the imagination of the artist. Expression of emotions calls a response or the involvement of a viewer to ‘complete the picture’. Musa, our ingenious up-and-coming artisan creates this Painterly Automatism Batik painting made of silk by using canting, a tool that acts like a pen which dispenses hot wax to resist dyes from penetrating unwanted areas. The method can be classified as Batik Tulis. Violent strokes and bold, daring colours, this painting is for the wild at heart.
Each painting is personally signed by the artist.
