// Spider-web by Vija Celmins is a screen-print from 2009, meticulously capturing the delicate intricacy of a spider’s web. Rendered in grayscale, this artwork emphasizes the fragile beauty of natural structures through precise lines and subtle tonal variations. Celmins’ attention to detail reveals the web’s geometric patterns, with each thread visible against a dark, softly textured background. The piece evokes a sense of stillness and transience, as the fine, nearly translucent strands appear both vulnerable and resilient. Known for her contemplative approach to natural subjects, Celmins invites viewers to observe the beauty in ephemeral forms, drawing attention to details often overlooked.

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
