Good Reasons to Buy an Abstract Painting

Abstract
paintings are popular, but they are often not understood. Let's try to give
"rational" reasons to entice those who are sceptical.

The descriptive
paintings, the landscapes, the flowery fields are understood, appreciated and
purchased. But when it comes to buying an abstract subject, sometimes you get
into a crisis. Always with the premise that abstract art is no less than
figurative - the history of art teaches us this - let's try to understand how
to insert a painting that has "taken your heart" and place it as a
piece of furniture in your home.

Abstract does
not mean unthought

An abstract
painting can transfer emotions and "capture" just like a symbolic
one, a landscape or a portrait, but not everyone feels ready to exhibit it in
their own home.

Let us strive to
understand better the pictorial expressions of famous and less famous artists
who can give that extra touch to an otherwise anonymous environment.

Get to know the
artist

Understanding
the Abstract artist London, their
soul, their message is essential for anyone who buys a piece of art.

This is why, in
addition to telling the most visible part of the painting, the materials used,
the choice of tools and techniques used, a global vision of the work is
exciting and valuable to go deeper. Knowing the most intimate part of the
author, the emotions expressed in that pictorial moment, the reason why his
choice fell on a specific colour, and that type of stroke will allow you to get
more in tune with the Abstract artist London and the message—transmitted on the
canvas.

Both for those
who feel a bit artist inside and for those who do not love art, do not
appreciate it or even suffer it (because forced by the partner or roommate to
participate in the choice) to know a particularity of the author, an anecdote,
a special place from which he draws inspiration, a type of material that only
he has experienced, will make people appreciate even more the painting you are
about to take home and could even spark the attention of the least creative and
most sceptical person in the world.

Follow your
instinct

You may find the
combination of colours and shades of a painting beautiful, but you don't see
anything else in it. After knowing, reading or listening to the logical,
historical or emotional path for which the author arrived at that type of
representation, you cannot share it.

It doesn't
matter if you see anything else; what matters is that you like it and would
like it in your living room to make you feel good, represent you, and
communicate something to you.

Choose the right
frame

A-frame in
contrast with the painting, with a nice passe-partout, will make the piece of
art "more classic", therefore more attractive even for those who do
not love abstract art.

There is indeed
an infinite range of solutions that you can find at wholesale framers, but also
in DIY stores. Trying to combine the purchased work with samples of
passe-partout and frames will help you identify the most appropriate
combination and enhance your purchase.

Fall in love (at
least a little)Whether it is the latest street artist or a
young emerging in a small gallery, it doesn't matter: it must be love at first
sight. If you are hit, and some emotion is triggered, it means that that
painting has hit the right "strings". It is a bit like a call that is
hard not to listen to.
