Framed 70's Wall Art
Bell-bottoms and gas shortages are a couple of things to come out of the 1970s. These things were not all bad, the bell bottoms although short lived, were a fashion staple, and the gas shortage led to better production cars and more efficiency. Framed 1970s wall art over the decade was as over the top as ever, with deep rich colors and funky shapes, it was amazing.
Red Ray and Jenn Ski are wonderful examples of the framed 1970s art and inspired creations. Jenn Ski and her “Petal Pods II” shows the whimsical and pastel patterns of the time, almost cartoon like but genuine in its rendition. And Rex Ray's classic “Carnivale (detail)” is a classic from this late great German artist.
Often abstract yet recognizable, the floral patterns of the time were exquisite. Mo Mullan's “Floral Pop II” is a dazzling glimpse into this wonderful framed 1970s inspired art, with the rich detail to the stunning color choices. As the world moved towards a more friendly cultural revolution, the art followed suit and made a warm and inviting statement.
Mo Mullan took those rich deep colors to a new level in “Spotted Kitchen II” in this classic look at teapots and teakettles and cups. As the 1970s go the art truly stands out as one of the best era's in art history, the seemingly unfettered use of bold colors and abstract patters is without rival in history, blending real earth tones with bold colors to make them an art piece worth cherishing.
