What is Geometric Abstraction?

What is Geometric Abstraction?

Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric forms and spatial relationships as its primary visual language, creating meaning through abstraction rather than representation.

Through the interplay of line, shape, colour, pattern, structure, and form, artists investigate harmony, rhythm, movement, perception, and emotion.

Within Canadian art history, geometric abstraction has evolved as a dynamic and diverse tradition, continually expanding the expressive possibilities of non-representational art. [GAAC] Collective
