NOOBAA Non-Objective Abstract Art at 3 Square Art Gallery

Abstract Painting about neurotransmitters

NOOBAA Non-Objective Abstract Art is on view Friday, September 16 to October 23 at 3 Square Art Gallery in Fort Collins, CO. I'm excited to show my work, Noradrenaline Dilation, at the exhibition which was selected by Juror Lisa Hatchadoorian, Executive Director, MOA Museum of Art Fort Collins.

Noradrenaline Dilation, oil on canvas, 40 x 30 in. This work is about the chemistry of emotion. It relates color to the role of neurotransmitters that regulate our moods. Here color acts as a metaphor for Noradrenaline which repels a nimbus of gray. Noradrenaline is a transmitter similar to adrenaline that increases levels of alertness, priming us for action. It also increases our blood pressure and widens our air passages.

The theme of Non-Objective Abstract Art can refer to Non-Objective Art or Non-Representational Art, which does not seek to represent specific objects, people, or other subjects found in the natural world, but instead relies on shape, line, color and form with no particular subject. Non-Objective Art is a pure abstract style that typically uses geometric motifs on a shallow picture plane. Art that has no illusion of pictorial depth made by linear perspective in the image and is purposely devoid of any references to worldly things or object. Styles include pure abstraction, such as geometric abstraction, neo-plasticism (De Stijl), color field, lyrical abstraction, concrete art, and more but must be unrelated to objective reality.
