Imagine this! Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ adorning your drawing-room walls, radiating warmth and sunshine; the yellows lightening up the walls, never-failing to add an element of cheer to the place!
Or how would you like to add that instant touch of elegance to your drawing-room walls with Ravi Verma’s, ‘Lady with the lamp’ – the beautiful lady’s face lightened up by the lamp, adding to the regalia of the moment! Oh! What a beauty!
And how would you like to see Raphael’s, ‘Woman with the veil’ add the element of ethereal peace and calm to your place!
And if the classic beautys aren’t your style, add Edvard Munch’s, ‘The Scream’ to your walls to complement your modern decor!
A few days ago, I wrote about why buying art isn’t easy and why it needs courage and conviction. However, an easy solution to this conundrum is buying reproduction art. Painstakingly created by talented artists, reproductions of masterpieces by some of the most famous painters of all times, reproduction art, is the easiest way to start your art collection without worrying about going wrong. Reproduction art does come with its own merits – they are easy to find, relatively cheaper than original art and you will without doubt find the perfect art that captures your soul!
However, much as I adore these famous creations, I am a stickler to original art. When every single action of mine, every single day of my life, distinguishes me from the crowd and gives me my own unique identity, why should the art on my living room wall scream reproductionnnnnnnnnn? I want the art on my wall to stand out from the crowd, have its own unique identity and be
exclusive. People pausing to stop in their tracks to admire a reproduction of ‘Mona Lisa’ is not the same as when they stop to admire with inquisitive eyes, an original art. Am not criticizing reproduction art or saying they shouldn’t be bought, but if you are like me and want to create your own space, then patronize the local artists and start your original art collection today!
Until next time…
