  7. Characteristics • There is no attempt to imitate a real life object or anything at all. It is non-representative artwork and purely abstract. • There are rhythmic patterns across the canvas to create different emotions in viewers just as music evokes different moods in the listener. • The boldness and density of the marks on the canvas show the energy with which the artist has painted it. • Inspires viewer to look beyond the world of recognizable objects to a more spiritual or imaginative plane.
