Decorate With Regional Abstract Artists

By Kenneth Smith


Modern art is often 'abstract', in that it is not a realistic depiction of a visible object. This differs from a still life study of fruit or flowers, for instance, or a landscape with clouds, mountains, animals, and people. Abstract artists may be able to draw extremely well but may choose to paint an impression or emotion rather than actual things.

For example, an artist could use hot reds and yellows to bring to life the feeling of lying on a beach with your eyes closed, seeing the blaze of light through your eyelids and feeling your blood coming to the boiling point. Of course, you might not discern that. You might think of a desert or of the energy of the sun which makes life on earth possible.

Local artists create art in all styles, colors, shapes, and sizes. This makes decorating easy. Your hall can hold a dramatic sculpture or a silk screen that evokes city streets or coastal cliffs. The wall behind the couch or over the fireplace is a perfect spot for a large oil painting that makes a defining statement. Wall hangings can bring texture as well as color. No room is complete without something that attracts the eye; you can use different examples of creative genius.

Sometimes people find a treasure that really speaks to them, and they design a whole room around it. This can be done by picking up a color from a painting hung over the fireplace, or by choosing furniture that will display a sculpture to best advantage. The proper placement of an object and the lighting that shows it off are key.

Modern art is perfect for a contemporary home, but it can also be effective in an older house. Sometimes a photograph that looks like a study of chaos turns out to be a close up of a familiar leaf, flower, tree bark, or water scene. Your imagination, as well as your favorite things, can lead you to the perfect touch that will make a room distinctive and memorable. Many abstract works of art actually depict something of nature, or of the urban scene, and the lack of simple representation is what gives the piece its force.

That's another point. Pictorial art comes in many mediums, so you can choose an oil painting, a watercolor, or a pastel. Even a pen and ink drawing is an effective accent for a room. Prints of a famous or a favorite picture are inexpensive ways to bring color and beauty to any room in your house.

You can also beautify a house or a garden with sculpture. Perhaps a dramatic piece of driftwood fits a beach house, while a swirl of copper might spark an urban patio. Los Angeles, CA, has all kids of talent, and you can find the perfect thing to add beauty to your home while expressing your own taste and preference. It's fun to learn about the local art scene, and you might stumble on the next genius.

There are probably things out there you never thought of, like fabric art or mosaics for your bathroom. The internet is a great place to find out what is happening on the art scene and to discover things that stir your soul.
