You are one of the rare few – a person whose preferences lie with suprematism. So, what is that and how is it different from other styles of nonobjective art? As we know, you appreciate two major qualities in a painting – its expressive and representational properties. The latter was the one expressly neglected by suprematists.

They belieived that you need to escape the world of objects to reach the utmost expression. The cosmic energy, inherently endless and dynamic, stands still and dies when confined and reduced to single physical objects. Instead of picturing the outer envelope of things they used simple forms as basic building blocks of the reality. The combinations of forms create compositions where space is the core element, and the composition is balanced and harmonious regardless of space orientation. A bad composition is just a set of suspended circles, dots and lines – just the way an elementary student might dribble. Take, for instance, the notorious “Black Square” by Kazimir Malevich. The mysterious painting called for a century-long discussion, the discussion alone and the numerous interpretations being indicative of the fact that the artist reached maximum expression with minimum representation. He was proud of creating the “absolute nothing” by reducing all colours, forms and structures to the minimum. When he wanted to take a step further and created a black square against the white background, the circle looked differently – since when perceived by the viewer a circle is rolling, or is about to roll, which means that it no longer stands for “nothing” – it means “something”, and the rolling does not make a stable composition. When the artist placed a smaller circle at the top of the composition, the circles balanced each other against the white of the paintings, and did not feel like rolling, yet the larger circle no longer remained monumentally meaningful as was originally expected.  The same thing happened with a red circle, since red is too dynamic as it is, and the composition lost its stability … Forms and colours have their meaning (see more in abstractionism), and there is nothing else you use to present an idea, no subject matter, no scenes or objects – they will simplify and degrade the results.

So, in a nutshell: you have space, cosmic energy and movement, which is integral to both. You need to turn them into stability and pure harmony, and you cannot resort to any images or symbols to convey it. Go ahead and have a try!
