Abstract Deleuze emphasized the concept of ‘Expression’ to break from the conventional and figurative paintings that focused more on visual representation. His emphasis to artists was the concept of ‘The Figural’ and for the tactile sensation to be more incorporated in art than mere visuals. Through the tactile sensation smudges are generated within the features of new paintings. Deleuze also suggested in Coop Himmelb(l)au’s ‘Open House’ drawing that the features of figural representation are evident while reflecting the novelty of architecture by utilizing the blind drawing. The architectural features represent the figures not from the ground, encompasses a collage of tactile sensation, captures the linear form that presents the flow of force and generates the quality of blind drawing’s ‘The Manual’.
