WHAT IS ABSTRACPROSEALITY™?

Abstracproseality™ is a visual language created by seangarrison that transforms written language, poetry and thought into abstract visual compositions.

THE ORIGIN

Artconography™ + Abstracproseality™

Language is life. It carries identity, culture, memory, and connection.

 

Before becoming a visual artist, I was a writer. In 2011, I began developing my own visual lexicon, Artconography™, inspired by the evolution of written language from image-based communication in Ancient Kemet through later alphabetic systems and into the English language.

 

From that process came Abstracproseality™, my way of merging writing and painting into what I call technicolor prose.

 

Each work contains embedded language: letters, words, stories, reflections, and observations layered into the composition itself. Sometimes the language is visible. Sometimes it is obscured. But meaning is always present.

 

The result is a language you do not simply read. You experience.

 

Abstracproseality™ continues to evolve as both a personal language and a shared form of expression, honoring where communication began while imagining where it might go.

The visual alphabet behind the work.

Artconography™ is the visual language within Abstracproseality™. The symbols become a written language transformed into a visual construct, allowing words, phrases, and prose to become structural elements within a painting. Abstracproseality™ is the larger artistic practice, where these encoded forms merge with color, gesture, abstraction, and composition to create what I call technicolor prose.

THE WORDS INSIDE THE WORK

How does love sound

As we lay silently. Two gardens

Of joy conjugated at the roots/

Growing. Waiting to be harvested

Where follicles that protect our privacy

Intone softly, "how do we give birth here?"

Urgency takes on new meaning,

Where lava is cool in our palms.

It's been some time now/

Lips/mine waiting to feel the warmth of

Yours/timid yet tepid/

I can feel the heat drifting/

dancing around a beautiful flower

Waiting to surround me again.

Love begins to sounds like

...a breaking tide along the shore.

CREATED BY SEANGARRISON


Abstracproseality™ was developed by seangarrison in 2011 as a visual and literary practice merging written language with abstraction. Artconography™ is the original visual language system underlying the practice, translating letters, words, and prose into visual form. Both continue to evolve as integral elements of seangarrison’s artistic practice.
