People are People quite literally in this oil painting, in every sense of the word. Void of expression, color or individual features this oil painting demonstrates that we are all fundamentally the same. The style is simple and although abstract it is most certainly figurative and subjective: An echo of the first abstract works created by artists during the early twentieth century - Which was heavily influenced by much of the African art arriving in Parisian museums due to the expansion of the French empire in Africa: One of the most famous artists influenced by such works being Picasso.

People is not a cubist work of art. Even so, there are certain elements which reflect the abstract concepts which evolved from it. Abstraction is not something which solely belongs to twentieth and twenty-first century art. It is present in early art works within many cultures around the world: Simple linear forms which were often symbolic as well as decorative: As is this three piece canvas art set.

Abstract art such as this is extremely communicative despite its simplicity: Although one does not have to understand anything in order to appreciate it aesthetically. In this way this oil painting is uncomplicated and yet elegant visually. A somewhat timeless piece that is void of ‘trend’.
