“Abstract Forms 1”**reserved for NT** (2020)Acrylic painting by Hanna Bell

Paul Klee once said:

''Art does not reproduce the visible; it makes visible"

And so, here I have painted over what Klee would have rejected as a "visible" (i.e.a portrait). I have used parts of this old work to repurpose and build my abstract work. For me, abstract work is all about the process of building harmony and colour; and balancing the composition and line. I think that to be totally absorbed in these activities and to make a good job of it; one should not be constrained by trying to "reproduce the visible."
This painting is reminiscent of the technique of pinstriping vintage motorbikes and cars.
