About the artwork

This image shows a close-up of a weathered metal wall with vertical lines and rust stains running along the surface. The combination of cool, bluish tones of the metal and warm, orange tones of the rust creates an intriguing contrast. The texture of the rust and the drop marks add an extra dimension to the composition, making it a captivating subject for abstract art photography.

As an abstract art photographer, I see in this image a representation of the beauty that lies in decay and weathering. The natural processes of oxidation and weathering have created a unique pattern. This work evokes memories of the works of photographers such as Aaron Siskind, who was known for his abstract approach to textures and surfaces. Like Siskind, I look for the aesthetic in the everyday and the ephemeral.

This picture also fits within the movement of abstract expressionism, where artists like Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock emphasised colour, shape and texture to convey emotions and ideas. The rust stains and drop marks in this image can be seen as a kind of natural 'action painting' where the elements are the brush strokes that tell a story about time, decay and the changes taking place in our environment.

By presenting this photograph, I invite the viewer to see the beauty in the unexpected and the everyday, and to appreciate the stories told by the traces of time and nature.
