I'm not much into art, but I've found myself enjoying stuff like Jackson Pollock and other similar artists (Abstract Expressionist? Not really sure what exactly it is). I love looking at it and thinking about my first impression, and then thinking about what concept or message the artist might have been expressing. It's fun to try to make more out of what's there than what's actually there, I think.

And maybe I only think of it that way because of the label people give it, and if it wasn't famous art, I wouldn't find it as appealing? I don't know. But I enjoy it more than landscapes/portraits/photography/etc.

Aside from that, fractal art is really pretty in its own way. It's not nearly as though provoking, but it has its own charm.
