Alluring Abstract Art of Agonizing Migraines

While less than 2% of the population have never had a headache, debilitating migraines affect millions of people worldwide, and are a great deal more than just a headache — migraines are the most common neurological condition in the developed world, and more prevalent than diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined. To that end, artists who are migraine sufferers have attempted to express the excruciating, throbbing, and agonizing pain that they endure with unique and intriguing works of abstract, surreal, and graffiti art, which for them is a means of expression.

The subject is one that is close to yours truly, as anguishing migraines are frequently the culprit for my disappearance on this site for several days on end. The Migraine Action association reports that it affects over 15% of the UK population. More than 9 million people in Britain are thought to suffer from migraines — about 7.2 million sufferers have an attack at least once a month and more than 1 million develop symptoms at least once a week.
