er Fry, the French painter and
critic, said that “Art has an emotional
quality outside the realm of the
system’s awareness in the relationships
presented by this artistic work, not just
the realization of the system, and the
interrelations, but that every part, as well
as the whole, becomes imbued with an
emotional tone, not due to any known
memories or inspiration of emotional
experiences in life; its strength derives
from the arousal of some distant, highly
mysterious memories of a very general
nature. Art seems to penetrate the bottom
layer of all kinds of emotional life, into
something that lies under all the special
emotions in life, and it seems that it
derives emotional energy from the same
conditions of our existence, by revealing Acrylic on Canvas, 150 x 120 cm, 2018.
an emotional significance in time and
space”. Or perhaps art can really evoke
the balance of the effects that are left on the soul by the different emotions of life,
without nevertheless reminding us of actual experiences so that we receive an
echo of emotion without being bound by the special direction that it had in the
experience. We may experience the emotional aspect of Farouk Hosny’s artwork
within the framework of this perspective, as abstract art is not a form of art that
is against emotions it is however the artist’s emotions that he portrays through the
energy of colors and shapes.
And even though Farouk Hosny presents an abstract art, yet the components of
his artworks are related to the outside world and did not lose its ability to recall
certain memories. This ability contributes to creating a state of sympathy between
the artist and the artwork, as the vastness of an artwork expands due to the diversity
of elements generated by the past experiences of the artist. And since these elements
are often ambiguous, the recipient cannot recognize them through his memory, and
thus they create a mysterious and puzzling world.
This introduces us to the empathic theory (openness or emotional reincarnation),
which is a theory of aesthetic appreciation that explains the aesthetic pleasure in the
nature of the emotional relationship that arises between the recipient and the artwork,
and it is a quick intuitive relationship that involves direct sensual perception, an
inward sense between the artist and the recipient that takes place through the common
medium, which is artwork. This sympathy is the foundation of aesthetic appreciation.
