Amazing video! Totally enjoyed every minute of it. The experiment was a great way to look at abstract art from a layman's point of view.

Boryana, thank you for the interesting subject to learn more about an abstract art, which is one of my favorite and the experiment was amazing, I will definitely try it! Hi to Phillip!

[@artunplugged]

Thank you!

[@paulogil5265]

Wonderful experiment! It would be nice to implement it with art students. Thank you.

[@artunplugged]

Thank you! And please invite them to subscribe to my channel 🙂

[@YesItsTom2U]

Thank you, this is an awesome video which I will share will all my friends. As an abstract artist, I constantly struggle with explaining what I it is I do. This explains it succinctly and brilliantly.

[@artunplugged]

Thank you very much for this comment! This is exactly what I am trying to achieve with my channel and you are telling me that it works! 😀

[@1952bassman]

Loved it....Looking forward to future posts.

Another highly entertaining AND educational video by your lovely self xxx

[@artunplugged]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them 🙂

[@nharzic9248]

Poor Phillip didn't get offered more Bailey's, only more carrot. I could do an abstract painting depicting his disappointment 😂 This video was a fantastic explanation of how abstract painting works. I have been to many 'affordable art fairs' and wondered why some (certainly not all) abstract art looks so commercial and leaves me cold while a painting by Jean Miro can be a whole world in itself. Even though the big commercial painting uses bright quality paint and energetic shapes. And yet, the smaller slightly cracked and faded Miro painting, draws me in. Your video helped me to understand this so much better. Thank you.

[@terjebauge6248]

Great stuff!

Thanks!

[@khampel9589]

Thanks for the video, I always perceived abstract art as a devine gift from God to few people on earth but this video is giving me hop once again.

[@artunplugged]

Thanks for your comment!

[@nikolainikolov2345]

Very helpful! Loved the experiment! :-)

[@artunplugged]

Thanks!

[@artunplugged]

You are on the list for the next one!

[@cmcasadoiro]

Very interesting video, thank you so much! It helped me a lot, I never really understood what abstract art was all about.

[@artunplugged]

Thank you - I am really glad to hear it because this is the mission of my channel!

[@ArevikBadalyan]

I liked the experiment. Totally different perspective

[@artunplugged]

Thank you!

[@philcrean]

Bravo!

[@artunplugged]

Thanks!

[@suodinas0veidas]

Hi, Thanks for the captivating and easy video, made me eager for more information! But I wonder, why are we looking at Philip’s drawings upside down? It’s not the way he drew it. I think, a line going downward and upwards has a big difference. I know it was an experiment just to elaborate what was said in a playful way. Tho, it still made me ask this question haha. All the best!

Likewise! Welcome and enjoy!

[@andreeadanielacristina9230]

Hello Boryana! Do you have any recomendations on books about abstract art and how to understand it?

[@couvduck60]

thank you so much, a couple of hours ago I had watched a presentation on Lee Krasner and her art, I asked a question "can you give any suggestions about looking at abstract art for someone who doesn't know much about it". They kind of turned up their noses and said "look at alot".They should have told me to watch your video.

[@colinreid325]

I really like the art of Franz Marc sadly killed in the slaughterhouse of WW1, but I noticed something interesting, he and Picasso were born just a year apart but as 1914 approached they both appeared to travelling along the same road, Marc's work was becoming more abstract in the same way as Picasso. I don't know if they were aware of each other though. I also like the colours that Marc's friend August Macke used. Will jump to the video that you have here on looking at abstract. Thanks again for you videos, it is helping me avoid knee jerk reactions to some art, although possibly not concept art.

[@artunplugged]

Thank you for your comment and apologies for the delay in replying. I looked up both artists you mention and they are very good indeed. I hadn't heard of them before - thank you for bringing them to my attention.

[@pattywithawhy]

As a blissfully ignorant hobby artist, I really enjoyed this one! ;)

[@artunplugged]

Thank you :) ! Enjoy the bliss and stay tuned - a new one is coming soon!

[@yvie01]

loved this. I'll pass on the carrot, but yes to the Baileys. When you say you have to be able to draw to do Abstract art do you mean "realistic drawing" or "representational drawing" . I can draw a vase, I can draw a recognisable man and a dog but I simply am bored when I see realistic drawings. And I do not wish to render realistic drawings myself. Do you know what I mean

[@alex13reborn]

Is it strange that I percieved the carrot in the exact same way? When I heard the crunch, when I imagined it, it was the same feeling of zig-zag lines that came to mind.

[@artunplugged]

As humans we experience basic things in the same way, so it is no wonder that we make the same associations. Of course it gets more complicated when it comes to culturally determined experiences. Thank you for your comment!

[@gordonyork6638]

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

I like that!

Hi Boryana!!!...Good to know you and your channel, since a couple years ago I started my interesting about painting specially art abstract. I follow to Chilean artist his name is Roberto Matta, the last surrealism artist. Do you know about him? What is your opinion about his art?. I would like to know your opinion. My best regards for you.

You hung Phillip's paintings upside down

[@darrendazcox]

You have your definition wrong, no offense, abstract CAN BE a view of the natural world or a person, place or thing that has been pre-defined or is able to be defined - to abstract is to make a less detailed version of something that exists in a creative way - what you MEAN is called non-objective art - this is like color field painting where the pigment is giving a visual effect that creates a feeling or paint splattering or 'white on white' or dripping and running paint where the random qualities of pigments can look interesting but it's not based on anything but the action of kinetic activity - you appear to be selling the idea that a housewife, for example, looking for a fun and perhaps lucrative side hustle but doesn't have a whole lot of time to actually practice can make money, can compete in the social and financial world of selling low-effort art and get the effect of the riches and accolades our society has added the mystique of intellectual elegance - a foothold into a higher rung of society with less riff-raff and more polite people. Impressionism is ABSTRACT - the term means to take away from and make a more concise vision thereof - the word abstract has been bastardised like the word liberal has - now the word liberal generally means a political viewpoint but it has a literal meaning of 'generous' - is it too hard to use the real term you mean for low-effort no- practicing needed art which is non-objective? If you are painting a square or blobs you are making art for arts sake, you aren't abstracting from anything - Monet abstracted from nature to reduce it to the colors and shapes that enhanced the beauty of nature - Picasso abstracted from people to see a warped and mutated looking version but Picasso could actually paint real things unlike 99% of people who think they can be an 'abstract artist' thanks to videos like this and the art world showing the crappiest low-effort work selling for millions of dollars, never even practiced art outside of grade school or just got to a college level and just settled for selling a few small things here and there - you people have watered down what fine art is by wanting a slice of the pie without paying your dues - you sold out the legacy of Michelangelo, Tiepolo, Monet, VanGogh to make a culture of boring dis-passionate same old same old stuff wherever you go - you want the romance of being an artist without the struggle to find your own voice - you didn't practice but you now want to get the effect of being an artist so you settle for what looks like easy art to make and a culture where everyone pretends to like the low-effort work enhanced by dollar signs that typically looks meh at best - you are being brainwashed by your own desire to take the easy way into what used to be a respectable career of people who worked hard to reach competency first then make money and gain status from it - you are taking the pride out of working hard to learn how to paint - you do not deserve to be an expert on fine art if you haven't even got your hands dirty by practicing the classical tradition - you people say Vasari was a poor artist compared to his hero Michelangelo but none of you will ever be that competent! - just a free speech opinion for fun as art is subjective - all points of view are valid - all art is good!

[@waffles1ca]

After this, I’ll bet she wishes she’d never got out of bed…

[@torblixa7760]

the question is... who doesn't get abstract art???

[@mitutoyo34]

Jackson Pollock is a joke a mockery in the art community in my book...

[@fredrickmendelsohn606]

Music was not abstract but like art, it has become so. Like art, they both had identifiable patterns. The search for something new has destroyed both art forms. The decline of both art forms closely mirrors each other.

[@Pauli.Ivanova]

There is good quality abstract art. Don’t get it wrong. The rich ppl have fooled everyone into believing that if they pay 20 million it means it’s good. No! Study the artist and learn about him or her and see if they have the education, the basic foundation, the experience and the talent. Are they missing the basic skills of painting the human figure, portraits, landscapes… ? If they have the skills of the classic art they will eventually deconstruct known images into forms, shapes, colors and composition. To those of us who paint it is clear there are standards. But the rich and their art dealers have ruined the art world by elevating talentless artists to the stratosphere paying millions for their scribbles. Meanwhile good artists cannot sell a single painting or set foot in a proper gallery. Thousands of great artists struggle while 15-20 celebrities artists who were great at their marketing themselves take all the work, all the money and cannot produce enough art for the hungry art dealers to sell to the clueless wealthy. It’s sick and many times I just say a curse word and just paint for myself and they can all kiss my a$$.
