Geometric abstract art is not entirely a contemporary or current phenomenon. Some civilizations during ancient times also had tendencies of producing colorful patterns which were geometrical in nature.
Still, geometrical conceptual artworks is said by some to have started with Pablo Picasso and his works which delved with cubism.
The geometric portion of his conceptual artworks is basically the fact that he was able to paint the different angles of objects and people on a single plane.
This, people claim, served to feature geometrical conceptual art at its infant stage, which would then be developed with futurism, constructivism, supremism and neoplasticism artworks.
Neoplasticism would have Piet Mondrian at its forefront, with his work Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue being very notable.
As of the present, modern society also has drawings and artworks wherein a geometrical theme seems to be pervading.
You can see how conceptual artworks of the past have influenced paintings as well as architecture, influencing them to play with the basic shapes of squares and circles.
This form of conceptual artworks has found an ally with the advent of modern technology.
An artist can now be able to create geometrical drawings or paintings with the aid of a computer.
However, it would still be best to study the works of past masters as well as understand the conditions behind the creation of these pieces so as to be able to have a greater appreciation for these works and to improve the paintings which you wish to create.
