Bold Art for a Bold Backdrop

This space calls for artwork that can hold up to the dark background and graphic pattern — artwork that is bold in and of itself, a piece or series that features negative space or pattern in a different way.

Sherri Belassen, Field Day, Oil on canvas, 42 x 72 inches

 

Idea 1: Sherri Belassen, Field Day

There are times when I see a space and one piece jumps into my mind right away! This time, it was Sherri Belassen’s Field Day.  The subtle texture her underpainting creates, the bold palette, and stripes in the flower petals made this piece a front runner for this space.

Emily Filler, Paper Bouquet series, Mixed media on paper, 30 x 22 inches

 

Idea 2: Emily Filler, Paper Bouquet

The wide space over the bench makes we want to take advantage of the full length of the wall.  A trio of Emily Filler Paper Bouquets with the negative space of their background and bold pops of color throughout the collage brings a bright energy to the space!
