Abstract
We visited The Turner Art Gallery in Margate. The main exhibition was Patrick Heron. He was an abstract artist, born in Leeds, who died in 1999. I always feel that when I see modern abstract art that I could do it, or certainly could when I was a child!!
Abstract
Vibrant colours awash the walls
Arty folk stand and stare
Entranced by total abstraction
A distraction from grey soulless lives
Long hair, braids and edgy hats
Peering over glasses
Stroking beards
All reality disappears
A splash of red
A swoon of maroon
A splatter of pink
A gaggle of green
Some shades never previously seen
Shapes showered on the canvas
Random yet very specific
Breathing life with every brushstroke
In the outside existence
Less bohemian types
Show a resistance
To this nonsensical world
Of make believe
Or magnificent observation
You decide....
