Perception in Wall Art
We each have our own visual of creativity and beauty. If you own a restaurant you might like food photography. If you love auto racing, you could display NASCAR, Indy or F1. If you are into science fiction, then perhaps, surreal or true Fine Art Black & White. It’s all in the eye of the buyer.
Choosing an Interesting Wall Art Photo
Choosing an interesting wall art photo that grabs people’s attention, not only prompts a collective discussion about the image, but results in the owner being even more delighted in his or her purchase.
Let’s take, for example, a surreal black and white image that has a dramatic impact on the viewer. It’s not a real image, but one manipulated through surrealism. The viewer tends to wonder why you chose the photo, where it was taken and in what ways was it manipulated. Through all aspects, it becomes a conversation piece.
Conversation Wall Art
Conversation wall art comes in many styles and sizes. A very large canvas, like 40×60 or larger, could also be considered an interesting conversation piece…a beautiful sunset, sailboat on an ocean, colorful autumn trees, majestic mountain vistas, and the list goes on.
A well composed image with creative angles and beautiful lighting, on a large canvas, begs for the viewers’ attention.
Why Does WALL ART Matter?
By choosing wall art thoughtfully you can bring design and color to your room. Colors give a sense of warmth or coolness to the viewer. By creating a focal point in the room, with your design, your eyes are drawn to the image immediately.
A design printed on canvas can give the viewer a hint of texture, as opposed to a smooth glossy print. A well printed black and white composition, with a selected subject matter, will bring a dramatic effect into your space.
In upcoming articles, we will discuss Wall Art, including the various styles and creative ideas that add to its uniqueness.
