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.

The modern artist might create a swirl of brilliant oranges and reds, for instance, and one viewer might think of lying on hot, hot sand at noon. Another might think of the energy of the sun that makes life possible and illuminates every color of the spectrum. The artist might have had a theme in mind, but the point is always to stir the viewer.

There are all kinds of modern creations. You might choose a small statue for your hall table, a majestic oil painting for the living room, and a tiny watercolor for the bath. The bedroom is perfect for fabric art, but a wall hanging can be just as effective in a main room. You might want to brighten up a corner or make a statement that your guests will not be able to miss.

Many times a room will cry out for a finishing touch that you might find in studios, galleries, and even flea markets. Or perhaps a striking work will lead you to fashion the setting specifically to set it off. Using art to complete your vision or as inspiration helps you to design a home that is uniquely your own. You can decide if you want a relaxing room or one that cries out for stimulating company.

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.

Of course, art can also be the dramatic shape of a sculpture, a fascinating piece of driftwood mounted just right, or a swirl of colorful glass. Los Angeles, CA has so many talented artists, both past and present, that it's easy to find something unique and perfect for your house, apartment, or garden. Finding a local artist is fun, and it makes for as much conversation as a print of an Old Master.

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.
