When we think of the abstract in terms of art, great painters like Jackson Pollock or Piet Mondrian come to mind, but painting isn’t the only artistic field where abstraction comes into play. This issue of Chiiz brings abstract photography to the fore, bringing out the talents of the contemporary abstract photographers from around the globe.We have Avishek Das’ work on “Vintage Abstract” as he isolates a fragment of the natural scene to remove its inherent context. Vinita Barretto’s representation of chaos is as artistic as it gets. We also have Ben Moore’s work on architectural photography blurs the lines between architectural photography and abstract photography. Also featuring, is the RedBull FMX Jam held in Mumbai where expert riders performed breathtaking stunts on bikes.

Harimao Lee’s surreal urban photography will take you to a whole new world. Mikołaj Świcarz’s series titled ‘Abnormal’ is all the food photography you’ll want to see. Riccardo Magherini is a fine art master and his skill is very much evident in his work. Chiiz is also showcasing the photographs from Photowalk Dubai, a photography group founded by Subodh Shetty and Anjum Vahanvati. John McNairn’s work is a beautiful depiction of the human body in a manner that evokes emotions. We also have Chiiz Gallery- the best of chiiz.com in the abstract category. Have fun demystifying the abstract!
