“Buy art because you like it and because it moves you, and because it enhances your life." Dan Fear. This is the number one consideration when purchasing art. Art does not have to be matchy-matchy to work within your home. Unique pieces that are positioned and scaled correctly can punctuate your environment and are much more exciting than artworks that simply blend in. With this in mind, here are a few suggestions to make sure that the art that you love is perfectly positioned in your home and featured in a way that makes a real statement! SCALE: Hang your artwork in a place that compliments its scale and the scale of its environment. Often large pieces will work very well in small spaces. 'Topology' in XL by Briony Barr is over-sized for the space, activating the entire wall and making a bold statement in this living room.    COLOR: An artwork can influence the colors around it and vice versa. Position your artwork in a manner that enables it to draw from it surroundings. The cool icy blues of Simon Harsent's 'Iceberg I' in large, compliment the gold in the room while picking up the subtle turquoise shades of the featured armchair.  Animata # 10 in custom 2XL by Veronica Ibanez Romagnoli draws on color from within the room with its natural, earthy tones and warm yellow hues while bringing the outside in through the vastness of its landscape and vivid blue sky.    COMPOSITION: In the same way an artworks colors can enhance it’s surroundings, so too can it’s form. Circular forms can balance out rigid forms in the same way bold color fields can break up a cluttered space. Be mindful of the play between the forms within the artwork and those around it. This room has fairly distinct geometry, both in its architecture and decor. Blue Pyramid by Clementine Barnes in large, is hung above the mantle to compliment the rooms right angled geometry, while also punctuating the space with its triangular form.   Subscribe to twfineart.com at the bottom of our homepage to see more installation pictures and be inspired to bring art into your home!
