Color is Lifeby ~Juri03

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Abstract

One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud--We in ourselves rejoice! And thence flow all the charms or ear or sight/ All melodies the echoes of that voice, All colors a suffusion from the light.One of the great exercises you can do is to stop and acknowledge the colors around you... If you're constantly distracting yourself, then you're never really experiencing anything fully. It can cause you to feel like you have no center, like nothing is grounding you.We were always intoxicated with color, with words that speak of color, and with the sun that makes colors live. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul. -
Edward Hopper
