Brief:
Physical Art is art that exists in physical reality, space and time. It is a physical object. For example, paintings, sculptures, and performance pieces are in the physical world. Physical art is always compared to conceptual art and it is argued that they are not the same. Conceptual art resides in the mental world whereas physical art resides in the physical world.  Physical art in relationship to synesthesia is commonly abstract art. I have chosen the topic of physical art and synesthesia because I found it interesting that there is a thin line between an artist who has synesthesia and an artist who doesn’t. I found that most artists who do abstract art use the idea of synesthesia as inspiration rather than actually having it.
