Arp’s collages, paintings and sculptures have a distinct ‘organic abstraction’ style via the use of shapes inspired by his interest in harnessing unconscious thought and parodying established ideas. His art consistently uses wavy lines, giving the illusion of plants, body parts and other natural motifs. These organic forms make the viewer curious with the overall composition pleasing to the eye. Unlike many artists, Arp generated the form first and then titled his work on completion. This process resulted in minimal intervention of the conscious mind. Arp was considered an unconventional and avant garde artist, he initially identified with the Surrealist movement and was later a founding member of Dadaism.
