Lyrical Abstraction in painting is an opening to personal expression. The term was originally coined by Larry Aldrich 1; other sources sustain that it was Jean José Marchand and Georges Mathieu who first used the term Abstraction Lyrique in 1947 in Paris. The name "Tachisme" is sometimes used to describe this movement.

Some notable painters "inspired" in this "style" are: Wassily Kandinsky considered one of the fathers of abstraction, Paul Klee, Frank Kupka, Robert Delaunay, Mordecai Ardon, Norman Bluhm, Jean René Bazaine, Hans Hartung, Wols, Max Bill, Gunther Gerzso, Huguette Arthur Bertrand, Georges Mathieu, Jean Miotte, Ronnie Landfield and Stefan Fiedorowicz.

The emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person... My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express an emotion. It is the interaction of colour that interests me. Stefan Fiedorowicz.

I am a colourist who has followed the lyrical abstraction movement and I use color to convey something personal and internal... Why I choose certain objects to paint and how I illustrate them is a mystery to me. I do not think about it too much. Certain objects are close to me because of what they mean to me or what they look like, their shape. I simplify them and sometimes combine them into pleasing arrangements. I like working over the canvas surface over and over again because most of the time I am not sure of what I want, especially my abstracts done with thick colourful oils and wall scrapers. 1

A form of non-playable character in reality I.e other people, Who seem a little bit more refined than the regular humans with their dogmatic chants and sheep like behaviour
I had a wonderful first day of school, to my shock I was surrounded by more Abstract NPC’s than usual. I was quite happy to learn that the majority of my peers were more awake and mindful than previous years.

Npc - a non-playable character.
Usually used when referring to video game characters who are programmed and run script type dialogues that may or may not have influence in the game.

The abstract NPC - Another aware human

• Can be used to describe someone you want to talk about in a more descriptive and charming fashion.
•Is used when speaking about an individual who is aware of their existence and actions to a higher degree than average people

Gosh I hate my school so much it’s filled with so many NPC’s I’m so glad I’m an abstract NPC and I don’t live in a facade

Abstract Minded is originally a French Metal Band founded in 2016.

They launched the genre of Abstract Metal, where music is written without respecting the boundaries of genres.

The only "Metal" thing in the music is the sound.
I just wrote this riff, Abstract Minded style!

This tune is Abstract Minded!

AN abstract release is when, as you climax, you wave your penis or "brush" around wildly to create abstract art. It is only considered an Abstract Release if the image left behind provokes thought and critical thinking, i.e. post-nut clarity.
Guy 1: I did my first Abstract Release on Jenna last night.
Guy 2: Did you make her clean it up too?
Guy 1: No, I told her it's going to be immortalized on her forever.

Art with no defined meaning. Its purpose is to let the viewer interpret its meaning for him/herself. It can be a test of someones interpretation skills.. And it's why some people like it.

Most will not like my witting. It's abstract and seems meaningless. But if you can look past the potential of confusion, and want to find out what I really mean, then read ahead.
"Abstract Art is meaningless! It does not challenge my intellect at all! I truly  believe it has no place in this world and is only making people dumber. I mean come on! Things should not be up for interpretation. They should be factual. It's just a dead end.

Boo independent thinking! Get the facts strait! Stop acting like the factual things in life should be questioned and up for interpretation. That never got us anywhere in life."
