textureart

Texture art emphasizes the tactile quality of a surface, whether real (physical) or implied (visual). In this style, artists use various materials or techniques to create surface variation, engaging both sight and touch. Texture can be rough, smooth, bumpy, soft, or coarse, and is often layered to evoke emotion, realism, or abstraction.

In physical texture art, mediums such as paint, fabric, sand, plaster, or found objects are applied to create depth and dimension. In visual or implied texture art, artists use techniques like shading, crosshatching, or digital rendering to simulate texture on a flat surface.

Texture art often invites viewers to experience the artwork beyond visual perception, triggering sensory and emotional responses. It’s commonly used in mixed media, sculpture, collage, and abstract expressionism.
