Below is a list of some of my favourite abstract painters.  It's not in any particular order.  Many of these artists have influenced the way I see and paint.  As an art student I spent a lot of time looking at their work in London's art galleries and their creativity continues to influence me today:

Mark Rothko

Bridget Riley

Giacomo Balla

Kasimir Malevich

Piet Mondrian

Jackson Pollock

Frank Stella

Barnett Newman

Clifford Still

Ad Reinhardt
