That said, thanks to the pandemic I\u2019ve had nine months of non-nomadic time to distill a definition for &#34;abstract&#34; as in an  abstract work of art &#8211; a non-hegemonic artist-mediated non-representation of a subject.<\/p>\n<p>So, how does the reality of visual symbolism co-exist with abstract imagery that studiously avoids realism?<\/p>\n<p>With that enigma comes this work of colorful reflected light, a thread of hope in dark times. So, here is a rainbow &#8211; a symbol of blessing and good fortune &#8211; to get us started on a new year.  Keep asking these questions: What do you see?
