Abstract art is having a real moment! It\u2019s one of the best-selling styles of contemporary art on the market. Born in the early 20th century, abstract art can be defined as non-figurative representation. It emphasises shapes, colours, forms, and gestural marks to convey emotions and concepts. In the contemporary art landscape, there’s a huge diversity and variety of abstract art – which you’ll see on show at the fair. From painting and mixed-media, to sculpture and collage, abstract expression is limitless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
