>without it sounding pretentious
i know, but i do not care too much for that. i don´t consider it more pretentious than trying to imitate reality, but to each it's own, i guess.
to me, abstraction is more like an adventure for the mind than for the skills in capturing a skin tone or a certain kind of shadow. not to deny the excellence of figurative painting, though. and there are some artists that i think are all the time playing with the limits of that, and it's amazing. check some turner, for example.
