In today's society of Abstract Art, there are many different styles, modes and ways that the artist can convery a certain concept or area of focus. Where an artist can turn a canvas into a complex composition of shapes and forms, or maybe just an easy-to-understand image with a powerful effect on the eye, there is one area of Abstract which still undermines the importance in one of the main elements of any imagery piece - Colour.

But where do we look for this? In block-form shapes? In portraits and figures of people? In still life, even? No, nothing like that. The importance of colour and colour forming/organising lies within a very specific category of Abstract that is so unique and so capturing to the onlooker...that it's probably hard to describe what category/movement it even belongs to. But whatever people may see it as, there are still key things present in all works of this style - colour, formation...and emotion - an interactive, expressive and outputting form of conveying one's feelings and everybody's reaction.
Where some may look at a piece and judge it simply on its choices and organisations, (including the artist of the piece, at times) some meanwhile may see it emotionally - an analytical approach the interacts and grips at the very heart and soul of us as onlookers.

As one man said:
"And if you say you are moved only by their color relationships then you miss the point." - Mark Rothko

Heck, I used to live in a state of mind where my belief was that all Abstract paintings had to focus on some state of natural physics or elemental forms/shapes. But having seen this kind of work, my beliefs have changed dramatically. A painting doesn't need to focus on form or shape...if colours are there to depict emotions and feelings for something either existent or non-existent, then that in my opinion, is an example of a perfect painting.
Here is a selection of works which I feel depict these aspects both wonderfully and beautifully:
