Abstract Art - Blogs to Follow

If abstract art is your thing, then you know all about enigmatic art. While abstract can be inspiring, it does require some effort. Viewers need to be willing to dive into the minds of artists. Blogs are a gateway to start the search. It can be fantastic way to star. Look at the techniques, and stories behind the art. I’ve gathered some of the best abstract art blogs that keep me hooked and informed. Whether you’re hunting for fresh ideas or just want to admire stunning visuals, these blogs deliver.

Why Bother with Abstract Art Blogs?

Abstract art is all about emotion, colour, and form. It’s not always easy to understand at first glance. Blogs can break down complex ideas so that elements become visible. You get to learn about the artists’ processes, the history behind movements.

Being an active reader of art blogs helps you to:

• Discover new artists and styles

• Stay updated on exhibitions and events

• Get practical advice on buying and caring for art

• Find inspiration for your own creative projects

  
  

I always find that reading these blogs sparks new ideas and deepens my appreciation for abstract art.

Abstract Art Blogs I have Bookmarked

Here are some standout blogs that I check regularly. Each offers something unique, from artist interviews to market insights.

1. My Shop - purely abstract art

This blog is my treasure. A collection of images featuring abstract works that can be purchased as linen, clothes, paintings and more. The Art work is fresh and varied, showcasing everything from bold geometric shapes to fluid, organic forms. The descriptions and explanations are short and punchy, perfect for a quick dose of inspiration.

What I love most about my shop is seeing my art on things other than wall. Objects that people carry every day; jewellery, puzzles and towels. My artwork tells the stories of my life, the stories behind the works. If you fancy getting a peek into my creative mind browse through my shop.

2. Colour Field Chronicles

These blogs update so regularly I search for #tags rather than bookmark sites. Colour theory plays a role in all art, and that included abstract art. Look for blogs that explore emotional impacts of colour and how to read paintings and discover their meanings, without representational forms.

Blog that feature tutorials and guides on mixing colours and creating your own abstract pieces can be a good starting point. However, don't stop there. View the blogs just as a starting point. A resource that can help you to experiment with your own art or just understand the craft better.

3. The Abstract Art Review

This benefit of this blog is in-depth reviews of exhibitions, books, and new releases in the abstract art world. It’s perfect for collectors who want to stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions.

Don't waste time on reading blogs if they don't appeal. Look at the pictures. Click the links. Do a bit of surfing. Even have a sketch book beside you. Doodle, don't think for too long. And, especially .... don't be too judgemental. Enjoy the strange, the messy and the disorganised.

If You're a Collector, Not an Artist, Think about creating a personal collection.

Looking is more important than reading. But reading makes selection easier. Here’s how you could use blogs to make art collecting less confusing:

• Exhibitions: especially free entry ones are places you can identify styles you like. Many blogs post event calendars and previews. Once you get into the habit, it can be addictive.

• Artist backgrounds: getting this knowledge is like putting puzzle pieces together. Understanding an artist’s story adds extra interest to your selections.

• Get tips on art care: This is important, especially if you're not an artist. Blogs often share advice on framing, lighting, and preserving your pieces. Definitely read these sections.

• Discover new artists early: Following blogs helps you spot emerging talent before they hit the mainstream.

  
  

By engaging with these blogs, you build a richer connection to the art you collect and display.

What Makes a Great Abstract Art Blog?

Not all blogs are created equal. Here’s what I look for when choosing which ones to follow:

• Consistent updates: Regular posts keep the content fresh and relevant.

• Quality visuals: Abstract art is visual, so high-quality images are a must.

• Expert insights: Writers who know their stuff make the blog trustworthy.

• Community engagement: Comments, forums, or social media links help you connect with other enthusiasts.

• Practical advice: Tips on buying, displaying, and caring for art add real value.

  
  

When a blog hits all these points, it becomes a go-to resource.

Keep Your Abstract Art Journey Alive

Don't make art shopping a random event. Or a quick peak into the gallery. Add coffee and food with a friend. Talking about what you like is a great way to be excited about collecting art. Make collecting a window into a vibrant, ever-evolving world of creativity.

So, bookmark your favourites, set aside some time to read, and let the colours and shapes spark your imagination. Abstract art is a journey - and these blogs are your guides.

Happy exploring!
