Why I Love Abstract Art (and Why You Don’t Have to “Get It” to Enjoy It)
Why I Love Abstract Art (and Why You Don’t Have to “Get It” to Enjoy It)

Abstract art isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly okay. People often feel intimidated by it, like if they can’t recognise something familiar, they must be missing the point. But here’s the truth: you don’t need an art degree (or any special knowledge) to enjoy abstract art. You’re allowed to see it however you want! That’s half the magic.

Unlike a landscape or a still life, abstract art comes entirely from the artist’s imagination. That’s also what makes it so hard to create. It’s built from instinct, emotion, memory - all those things that don’t have clear shapes or lines. It’s why I find it endlessly fascinating. Each piece is like a little mystery that reveals something new the longer you live with it.

Guest Curator Emma Rogerslee

Emma is a recipe creator and food photographer. I discovered Emma’s Instagram account The Irishman’s Wife about a year ago and was instantly hooked on her beautiful photography and aesthetic.

In 2020 Emma launched The Irishman's Wife. A cooking and recipe website, that focuses on delicious seasonal comfort food inspired by international, especially European, influences, drawn from her years of living in the UK and marrying an Irishman. Whether it’s a simple Apple and Blackberry Crumble, a Roast Chicken, or a slow-cooked Irish Stew, it's all about cooking good, from scratch, and achievable food to share with others around the kitchen table.

Emma’s recipes will come in super handy, especially around Christmas time, so hop onto her website and check them out.
