For many people living today, the idea that you couldn’t own a high-quality reproduction of a favorite piece of artwork is unimaginable. After all, head to any poster shop and you’ll be able to get a copy of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night or Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa for just a few dollars. While they certainly don’t offer the splendor of seeing the original, such prints do a good job of providing beauty to a bedroom or dorm room.
But prints aren’t pieces of art that really impress. So when it comes time to decorate an important space — grand living rooms, banks, corporate offices, casinos, or cruise ships — you’ll want to look well beyond prints and put up something that will really wow anyone who sees it. We’d like you to consider original extra-large contemporary wall art, because it’s sure to impress. Let’s take a look at why you should choose large canvas art over something lesser.
Extra Large Canvas Art Offers 3-Dimensionality
One of the important aspects of a piece of original art is how it changes as the light hits it differently. While a print is just two dimensions, paintings are often three dimensions due to their nature; paint builds up on the canvas as the painting is created. This is especially true with my work, as I sculpt the paint with palette knives in order to give it a raised look that represents land and water.
While the amount of paint differs from painting to painting and artist to artist, a painting will always give you the eye-popping effects that were intended by the artist…something that a printed piece could never do.
It’s Original
One of the most common ways that a business tries to appear special is to put unique artwork on the wall. Even if a bank has multiple branches throughout the city, they will almost always have different pieces of original fine art on their walls.
That’s because they want to appear special. While they have spent a lot of money on branding so that it’s obvious which bank you’re in (usually via the ubiquitous logo and color scheme), they still want something original on the walls to make this particular branch feel special. This combination of familiarity and uniqueness makes the customer feel comfortable while subtly letting them know that this branch of the bank is here to offer personalized service (in other words, the original art suggests personalization).
It Impresses
Most items in today’s world are mass produced. Walk into the average business and 99% of everything, from the furniture to the lighting fixtures to the carpet, is mass produced. That’s why people are so impressed by items that are unique. When you purchase a piece of extra-large contemporary wall art, you’re putting something on the wall that is handmade. And such large canvas art truly does impress.
You’re Supporting Artists
Even if you don’t support me as an artist by purchasing one of my extra-large paintings on canvas, I still hope you will support some artist by purchasing their original art. When it comes to prints and posters, the original artist is seldom making any money. Most of it goes to the printers, the sellers, and the museums that own the copyrights. Buying original art means that you’re helping an artist continue to contribute to the art world.
Even if I quit painting tomorrow, I would still think it very important for society to support artists. After all, artists help to make society livable!
Large Canvas Art Is The Way To Go
When you’re decorating a large space, large canvas art is an obvious choice. If you believe that one of my current paintings would be the perfect addition to your wall, or you like my style and would like to commision a piece of art, please contact me. I look forward to talking with you.
