nonrepresentational
Explanation:

Nonrepresentational art is another way to refer to abstract art, though there is a difference between the two. Fundamentally, nonrepresentational art is work that does not represent or depict a being, a place, or a thing in the natural world.

If representational art is a picture of something, nonrepresentational art is the complete opposite. The artist will use form, shape, color, and line— essential elements in visual art— to express emotion, feeling, or some other concept.

It's also called "complete abstraction" or nonfigurative art. Nonobjective art is often viewed as a subcategory of nonrepresentational art.
