Abstract Figure Paintings – Emotional Original Art by UK Artist 

 original abstract figure art - buy from me the artist

Originality is coveted.

The paintings here are all my own work and originality is in every piece. You are viewing low quality images - the originals loook even better - but I must avoid any chance of copying. You can buy the only  one of its kind.

The human figure is one of the most painted subjects, why?

Through our lives we spend a lot of time looking at people - our family, friends, relations, colleagues, strangers. We look closely at their facial expression and body language as part of the communication process. We see every emotion in the figures, love, hate, concern, sympathy, jealousy, antipathy, caution and many more. We assess the person’s emotional state so we can respond accordingly. Artists want to capture that emotion so that the painting communicates with you the viewer. These paintings do not describe a person or even a feature such as an eye, accurately but abstract the figure to capture the essence – a mixture of expression and body language.

No Words For This One - that's the title, I could not find the words to describe the painting without misleading the viewer. Make your own interpretation, ponder if you have ambiguity and please enjoy! View this contemporary abstract figure painting

These two dancing figure paintings are surreal - can you feel the joy of the movement? Or maybe something else

The four pieces below feature hats, they are a wonderful object to paint, they can be most any shape, lots of colours or no colour at all, such variety. Hats on figures enhance the body language and show the character of the figure - they are a poweful tool for the artist

An abstract male painting - Fly Boy. Pilots seem to develop their own characteristics  - maybe it is confidence, perhaps arrogance too.

I cannot resist painting abstract Spanish figure paintings . Senor! again and again.

The painting of figures with hats has been a delight for this artist. The many shapes, colours and tilt create a character. I let the hat do the talking and do not put in facial details .

The series below were painted  to  put a sense of mystery into the abstracted figures. The figures themselves occupy only a small part of the painting but  draw your eye immediately. The large remainder is important to set the desired feeling to the work.

The figure is now hard to find but it is still essential for the message in the painting

war series

I have painted several  for this series of paintings and the ones below are a selection that feature figures . There are more to see on war, click war series. . They have been exhibited in the Mall Gallery and Crypt Gallery in London

My only goal.

I have emphasised that my only goal when painting is to create an emotion in the artwork and whilst others seek to create something they see I endeavour to create how I feel about what I see. I am not alone of course and the list starts with Rothko who could stir feelings just by colour. My blog post Getting Emotion into a Paintings expands on this point and I teach it too - Get Heart Into Your Art is my title for personal lessons.
