Abstract
Abstract art through its abstraction mode is an attempt to explore the essence and existence of humanity
in the dimension of spirituality. Abstraction is able to present a deeper meaningful space because of the
open dialogue between artists - works - spiritual observers. This research was conducted to explore and
explore the transcendental and spirituality dimensions especially in contemporary Indonesian abstract
painting as part of the expression and reflection of the search for the essence of the artist. In addition,
historical aspects and discourse dynamics will also be analyzed in order to obtain a comprehensive
understanding in understanding the development of abstract art in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative
methods by optimizing studies on written sources and literature relating to the study of contemporary
Indonesian abstract painting by further analyzing the historical aspects and dynamics of discourse. Data
were analyzed using content analysis method. This study is expected to be a reference material for learning
abstract art, artists, and art lovers.
