Framed Pop of Color Art
Taking inspiration from nature, like the bright red of a poppy against a field, or red rose among thorns, or even capturing the changing color of the seasons against a largely black and white canvas, artists like Harold Silverman, Papaveri E Nuvole are really using framed pop of color wall art to great effect.
Let’s face it, interiors have moved on a long way from magnolia walls and neutral carpets and the aim now is to highlight our modern architectural spaces. Many modern offices feature clinical white décor but with a framed pop of color art pieces that picks out the colors of the seats or a focus piece of furniture like a sofa in reception.
Harold Silverman’s NY Stock Exchange really uses the pop of color technique well, as it really is about taking a flash or bubble that bursts to tell a story and cityscapes lend themselves perfectly to it, from the New York City skyline to Dianne Poinski’s Eiffel Tower.
Framed pop of color artwork is also a tried and tested technique used to highlight beauty in make-up routines – no-one can deny how eye catching a bright red lipstick or dramatic eye shadow can be. Why not take this dramatic effect used so will in films – who can forget the poignant scene from Schindler’s List of the girl in the red dress against the black and white film – and use it in art to great effect?
