Abstract Feelings

On By ResaIn Abstracts, Graffiti Alley141 Comments

Abstract is the best word I can come up with to describe how I feel these days.

Graffiti Alley

Might as well show off some of the abstract art I’ve collected. A definition is as follows:

For some reason, this piece called out.

I think it has something to do with the centre sort of 3D geometric breast/shield shape.

As you can see it was painted over other art. The abstract artist allowed some of the previous art to remain.

Chuckling about the teeth (old art) chewing on. the new art.

Alley Gallery

Graffiti Alley isn’t the only alley with art in Toronto. These are from alleys near my home.

Since first sighting of the wedge below, Graham at Mandala Vihara came to mind.

So, using the rotation feature, I made 4 sides to form a mandala. Only perfect is perfect. This is the best I could do with imperfect.

BY THE WAY: Tiffany Arpdaleo Is an abstract artist I follow on WP. Her art is fabulous.

Below – A car reflects wall art.

This alley fence I pass at least once a week was painted 2 years ago. I took the pic back then. The colours are still holding out.

Garage Doors

A bit further away, but within a 3 hour there and back walk:

This garage door in 3, parts, makes a cool triptych. A resident came home & parked her car. It was cool how the doors opened. The 3 pieces are featured individually in the slideshow below.

Same artist as the fence at the end of Alley Gallery. There were 4 in 1 alley – in the slideshow.

The below artist’s work is popular in the alleys.

This is an old rotting wood garage door. Yay for art!

On the Street

Not swung out at first sight, but it’s grown on me.

Boxes

I’ve been somewhat neglectful of taking pics of power boxes and Bell boxes. Most are abstract. Pulling my socks up as of NOW!

Below- Tags piled on tags. I’m quite fond of the accidental abstract this non art, art form randomly creates. Still, it defies the definition, which makes me like it even better. Think I’ll call it Rebel Art.

Kitchen – The Painted House

It was mayhem, a potpourri of colour.

I fell in love with the tiger. I thought of all my cat pals.

Upon entering there is a face to the left.

Straight ahead, left side of the kitchen is another face and the stunning leopard head.

Everything was painted: the cupboards, the stove, the range hood, the walls, the windows and nothing was left to paint, except the paint itself.

So, the paint was painted.

On the right side is an all over abstract mural. I saw the eye, but didn’t see the face until looking at pics.

Here’s a slide show of some more kitchen bits.

  • Back door to the house
  • Down to the basement, kitchen to the right
  • First sight when I looked in
  • The eye wall corner
