How free is abstract art these days?

Emotions have always been closely related to art. Just as we have abstract emotions which cannot be defined and are free of all conventions, abstract art also takes it stand. Abstract Art is an art not represented by an accurate form of an object. This representation can be different in many ways changing the shape and color. The artist either simplifies or exaggerates an object. Abstract art may be of different styles. However the main forms that stand out are Cubism, Neoclassicism, and Abstract Expressionism.

The question that mostly arises is how free can abstract art be? Abstract art was modernized due to the limits of cubism and other forms which currently do not have a fixed standard convention that is followed. Will this constant expansion evolve art or just create chaos?
