A Series of Smaller Abstract Art Works Has Advantages
When you only have horizontal space this arrangement of a series of small paintings works great
Let me detail what I mean and you can determine if it works for you in your situation.
Life today can get complicated real fast with all the choices we have available to us.
Purchasing ART causes anxiety for many because they feel that they need to know a lot about art to choose the “right art” for their home or office walls.
There are only 2 things you really have to determine when purchasing art.
1. Does the art speak to you? By this I mean do you get a feeling of familiarity, or attachment, or it brings back a memory and you want to repeat that feeling again? Most times your mind will go back to that artwork over and over again and you regret that you don’t own it.
2. The other issue is the spacing you have for the art. Do you have space for a large piece of art anywhere in your home or office that can accommodate a piece of art that size?
This 2nd determination, SIZE, is what makes owning a series of smaller artworks/paintings that were created to go together an advantage to own when they speak to you and you know you have to have them. They were made for you.
The Advantages:
1. If the series of art consists of 2, 3, or 4 or more, you can separate them on different walls in the same room or in separate rooms for a cohesive look among the art in your room(s). Four 12” X 12” paintings hung 2 up, 2 down = (approx.) 26” square painting!
2 Exciting Examples below of 2 up and 2 down:
Left image are my Structure A, B, C, D ~ Right image shows my 2 Green Peace & Moving Spaces 1 & 2 (all 12” X 12”)
We are a society that moves a lot. So at some point you decide to move to a different location or you eliminate a piece of furniture in your current location and now have space for a larger painting. VOILA, instant larger artwork to fill the space. And small art is much easier to pack, ship and keep safe when moving.
2. The 2nd advantage is size again in determining your layout on your walls or elsewhere. Below are 3 exciting examples of art that are a series of the same 3 paintings that are arranged in 3 different ways. And I have more arrangement suggestions for them too!
3 Exciting Examples below: Crazy Daze 1, Crazy Daze 2, Crazy Daze 3 Again, all are 12” X 12” on wrapped canvas
I will give you some more exciting examples in future posts of different layouts using series of 2, 3, and 4 or more. And using different sizes together. Stay tuned.
