Shout Out to Patrick Hickey

Patrick Hickey, Atomic Bomb On Japan

According to Wikipedia, "Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world."  A fellow artist, Patrick Hickey, makes abstract art that, at times, has a social conscious.  I have heard it said that all art is an abstraction.  For even if you are looking at a landscape painting, those trees are not really trees, but paint on a canvas.  Hickey's picture, Atomic Bomb On Japan, is a powerful abstract that expresses the event with raw energy and determination.  Abstract art can challenge us and bring feelings into the picture.  Hickey's artwork can be found on his website, www.heechpeachhead.deviantart.com and is for sale.  Enjoy!
