Nonrepresentational art refers to works that do not depict recognizable objects or subjects from the real world. Instead, it uses shapes, colors, forms, and textures to achieve its effect. This type of art is subjective, often aiming to represent an idea or evoke a particular emotion rather than a physical object or scene. Artists working in nonrepresentational styles explore the formal qualities of their medium—such as line, space, and composition—rather than focusing on representational accuracy.
