Abstract

Postmodernist philosophies such as deconstruction have had a profound impact on the development of contemporary visual art, embodying the ideas of deconstructionist philosophy, which is based on the idea of "deconstructing" traditional meanings and fixed concepts, and presenting the idea that things do not have fixed meanings, but are open to multiple interpretations. This has encouraged artists to rethink traditional concepts of beauty, move away from traditional forms, and search for the essence of things, then reformulate them in an innovative way to present works that do not have a fixed meaning, but are open to multiple interpretations. Deconstruction, with its ideas for analyzing and deconstructing constants, has become what allows for formative fluency and finding new approaches to experimentation and artistic expression, and adding solutions, formative dimensions, and expressive values that contribute to enhancing contemporary artistic experiences. This research is determined by deconstruction philosophy that can be an introduction to enrich the expressive value in contemporary painting and by revealing its features and characteristics, it can be used as unconventional expressive starting points in producing contemporary painting works through its role in transcending traditional patterns and expressing reality in new ways that affect the form of artistic production. The researcher extracted several introductions that could be relied upon in applied personal experience of the research, and from them she achieved several results that contribute to the creative launch and opening new horizons in contemporary painting.
