Abstraction is a concept that I am all too familiar with (as you can see here by my caricature-esque interpretation of the model on the left). Of course there are varying degrees of how abstract or not something can be, while I tend to see things slightly askew, I'm no Francis Bacon.
Compositions such as Bacon's 'lying figure' have often been a source of wonder and awe for me, "how can anyone see the world that way," the left side of my brain says.
But the right side of my brain doesn't ask questions. It relishes the visuals without analyzing.
But why not both? It's a precarious task attempting to balance the two, the left brain and the right brain. I think that's why I have gravitated toward an industry that is so firmly rooted in art and creativity, but thrives on precision and logistics.
