thank You !!! for being part, and keeping expression alive, outside of social and merely academic dogmas, Is not acceptable that the market and/ or a few people who consider themselves experts or part of some "art elite" will tell us what is and what is not art!! is not real, is more close to surrealism that kind of attitude..b4 the market we were already around, we were already humans spreading expression.. and is a pleasure to feel that here, to look at all of these works.. love it!!!!
The general social impotence, the passivity of the masses, are an indication of the brakes that cultural norms apply to the natural expression of the forces of life. For the satisfaction of this primitive need for vital expression is the driving force of life, the cure for every form of vital weakness. It transforms art into a power for spiritual health. As such it is the property of all and for this reason every limitation that reduces art to the reserve of a small group of specialists, connoisseurs, and virtuosi must be removed.
The chalkings on pavements and walls clearly show that human beings were born to manifest themselves; now the struggle is in full swing against the power that would force them into the straitjacket of a clerk or commoner and deprive them of this first vital need. A painting is not a composition of color and line but an animal, a night, a scream, a human being, or all of these things together. The objective, abstracting spirit of the bourgeois world has reduced painting to the means which brought it into being; the creative imagination, however, seeks to recognize every form and even in the sterile environment of the abstract it has created a new relationship with reality, turning on the suggestive power which every natural or artificial form possesses for the active onlooker. This suggestive power knows no limits and so one can say that after a period in which it meant NOTHING, art has now entered an era in which it means EVERYTHING.
I am not sure about the relationship between the conceptually defined pictorial elements like colours, lines, shapes, in abstract art and the true properties of the material in Informel art. In any case, it is obvious that purely formalistic abstract art has lost its charm, we should go beyond the borders of abstract art. Above all, we have to search for a centrifugal approach, instead of the centripetal one seen in abstract art. In this way d be interesting to see here more and more true experiences outside of the academic circles
say no to keeping ur art for urself, no to experience alone all the time, no to believe in art as a self importance pill, instead share in joy.. share more to go further.... share
Thanks again for inviting me. I finally got some things posted I hope will address some of the group's issues.
This group does not impose restrictions on the art of its members, letting them make full use of their creativity, many different experiments should be carried out with extraordinary activity such as art felt with the entire body, art which could only be touched, lets spread works wich emit the loud outcry of the material, of the very oil or enamel paints themselves.
the most important merits of abstract art lie in the fact that it has opened up the possibility to create a new, subjective shape of space, one which really deserves the name creation.
Thank you for inviting me to join this group. Please know I am joining with an open heart and genuine respect and goodwill for the other members. Julian.

'The images I have in my head are probably not really mine; they were influenced by seeing a PICASSO, a MATISSE, or some other kind of exhibition. The only thing I can do is put my hopes on the accidental things that arise from my experiments, which I use as a way of discovering my true self. It's easy to decide on a single direction and keeping walking down that road like artists of the past have done, but unfortunately for us there are no directions visible. Even if a certain direction seems interesting to me now, I have absolutely no idea what I should do with it tomorrow. We are haunted by the uncertainty of tomorrow.'
what is to go on the canvas is not a picture but an event. The big moment comes when it s decided to paint 'just to paint'. The gesture on the canvas is a gesture of liberation from value political, aesthetic, moral.
Thanks for the invitation to have a look. I joined in, because some of my art work does indeed not define but suggests
I take this invitation with a mix of honour and humble pleasure...promise you I'll 'behave' my self......-_-

thank you for your invitation and I totally agree with your point of view and thoughts about art, I will be very happy to be part of the group, what do I have to do? thanks
to go further and further in the experience.. bring to the group some of ur expressive colorful screams, some of ur emotional responses. for now we can gather diferent creative manifestations here, in the near future maybe group expressions.. creative exercises
in Informel art, which I found most interesting. I am not sure, though, about the relationship between the conceptually defined pictorial elements like colours, lines, shapes, in abstract art and the true properties of the material in Informel art.

lets start with non figurative expressionist works.. in which artists typically apply paint rapidly, and with force to their canvases in an effort to show feelings and emotions, painting gesturally, non-geometrically, sometimes applying paint with large brushes, sometimes dripping or even throwing it onto canvas.














































































Love your words here Pedro- beautiful group!
