i would say that abstract art is the opposite of figurative art. Whatever the medium used, generally there are no recognisable figures or objects. Qute often the painting results from the artist expressing him/herself physically, as with Jackson Pollock. Sometimes such art comes from an ntellectual point of view - like in Bridget Riley's work, which is precis and controlled.
