Biomorphic Abstraction

Paintings referred to as "biomorphic" contain irregular abstract forms based on shapes found in nature. This style is found throughout the history of abstract art, notably in the work of Arshile Gorky, William Baziotes, and Yves Tanguy. Artists in the 80s notable for using biomorphic imagery include Gregory Amenoff, Charles Clough, and Steve Currie.
