Group Info

This group is for people who enjoy creating traditional abstract and surreal art. Abstract art is defined as departure from accurate representation. It may be slight, partial, or it can be complete. Art that does not imitate or directly represent external reality. Based on the theory that form, line and color can be a visual language and experience in themselves.
Work submitted to the gallery can be created using, acrylic, oil, watercolor, pencil. All work must also be titled, have something written in the artists comments, and completed. Work that does not follow these rules will be declined.
For those who enjoy viewing abstract please feel free to watch the group. In order to become a submitting member you MUST have abstract work within your gallery.

Welcome to ALL!

Anyone is invited to watch the group. BUT members MUST have traditional work in their gallery.
This group was designed to connect abstract, surreal and minimalism artists with one another. We also welcome those who have an interest in the abstract and surreal arts. If you have a suggestion for the group please feel free to note us. When becoming a member remember to watch the group as well. Importantly, we want ALL members to have an enjoyable and enlightening experience within the group.

Abstract art is defined as departure from accurate representation. It may be slight, partial, or it can be complete. Art that does not imitate or directly represent external reality. Based on the theory that form, line and color can be a visual language and experience in themselves.

Surreal art focuses on the subconscious, the fantastic, the interpretation of dreams, and the juxtaposition of unlikely elements.

We are not an Elite group but the quality of the post is a must.
~Please keep the work within the frame of download. No blurry images.
~No lined paper or doodles.
~The work must also be finished.
~If these rules are not followed the work will be declined

Please put your work in the proper folder within the gallery.

All members should be able to receive constructive criticism and critiques but there will be no tolerance of being rude within the group. If someone begins to slam the works of other members they will be banned from the group.
