Great and sacred modern art

Owning affordable modern art or abstract oil painting on your walls Creates a Stunning Visual Impact that brings a unique and original perspective, colour and interest to your home that is exciting and thrilling for you and your visitors for years to come.

Traditional wall art, Modern Oil Paintings not only fills a room with colour but tells a story. The unique story of the canvas itself is revealed but also about the artist who painted it and what drew you to the painting as well as how you found and acquired the painting. All original quality abstract paintings or modern artwork brings this story alive and develops its own value as a focal point in narrating this story making it distinctive, informed and intellectual, generating conversation and defining a scene of place within any gallery or modern home.

Art and especially Modern Art communicates Abstract ideas and concepts through contrast and contradictions that the modern world presents to us. Drawing on a number of artistic movements like Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, Modernism and Impressionism. I draw inspiration from artists such as Mark Rothcoe, Picasso, Pall Klee, and Cézanne to name just a few. I often find myself drawn to those emotional and expressive abstract paintings that fill a rooms with colour, energy and tranquillity. Preferring a limited palette of oil paints or earthy colours and simple clean lines to convey an image or abstract view point that challenges our perspectives on art and the modern world around us.

Modern art and Abstract painting is a journey of constant discovery both into painting and ourselves as individuals. Art is great and sacred, never decline.

Modern Oil Painting Painting's exhibition

Forever Now presents the work of 17 artists whose paintings reflect a singular approach that characterizes our cultural moment at the beginning of this new millennium: they refuse to allow us to define or even meter our time by them.

This phenomenon in culture was first identified by the science fiction writer William Gibson, who used the term “a-temporality” to describe a cultural product of our moment that paradoxically doesn’t represent, through style, through content, or through medium, the time from which it comes. A-temporality, or timelessness, manifests itself in painting as an ahistorical free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is nowhere to be found, and all eras coexist.

This profligate mixing of past styles Modern Oil Paintings and genres can be identified as a kind of hallmark for our moment in painting, with artists achieving it by reanimating historical styles or recreating a contemporary version of them, sampling motifs from across the timeline of 20th-century art in a single painting or across an oeuvre, or radically paring their language down to the most archetypal forms.

The artists in this exhibition represent a wide variety of styles and impulses, but all use the painted surface as a platform, map, or metaphoric screen on which genres intermingle, morph, and collide. Their work represents traditional painting, in the sense that each artist engages with Modern Oil Paintings traditions, testing and ultimately reshaping historical strategies like appropriation and bricolage and reframing more metaphysical, high-stakes questions surrounding notions of originality, subjectivity, and spiritual transcendence.

Hope loved to draw to you don't miss this show!

Abstract Modern Art Oil Paintings

As an artist and painter creating visual impact though modern art and abstract in oil paint and mixed media paintings on canvas that I know! make any home come alive with color and energy.

Traditional wall art, modern or abstract painting not only fills a room with colour but tells a story. The unique story of the canvas itself is revealed but also about the artist who painted it and what drew you to the painting as well as how you found and acquired the painting. All original quality abstract paintings or modern artwork brings this story alive and develops its own value as a focal point in narrating this story making it distinctive, informed and intellectual, generating conversation and defining a scene of place within any gallery or modern home.

Art and especially Modern Art communicates Abstract ideas and concepts through contrast and contradictions that the modern world presents to us. Drawing on a number of artistic movements like Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, Modernism and Impressionism. I often find myself drawn to those emotional and expressive abstract paintings that fill a rooms with colour, energy and tranquillity. Preferring a limited palette of oil paints or earthy colours and simple clean lines to convey an image or abstract view point that challenges our perspectives on art and the modern world around us.

Creating useful links to my artwork, artist, modern art, Modern Oil Paintings, museums and art galleries develops our appreciation of art and its value to humanity as a whole.I believe that understanding Modern art and Abstract painting is a journey of constant discovery both into painting and ourselves as individuals.

Oil paints are made

One of the main appealing properties of Modern Oil Paintings are the glazes.  By adding a small amount of pigment to the relatively clear oil medium, you can very subtly tint an image.  This is called glazing. Most Renaissance Old Masters used a toned underpainting and then built up several of these thin glazes of colour on top to create astonishingly realistic figures and scenes. The translucence of the paint film allows for sophisticated ranges of flesh tones.

Okay, another analogy: imagine the top layer of oil is stretching as it dries out hardens, and it stretches to the max.  Its surface is expanding because it is absorbing oxygen. Now, they oxygen eventually begins to hit the layer below.  And it stretches and expands to the max. But they layer above is already dry, how can it expand any more with the one below pulling it!

Like a big cookie on a pan. Slide an uncooked cookie under a cooked cookie, a bigger one and stretch and heat up that dough: as the bottom cookie dries and expands its surface, it will crack the smaller cookie it is now stretching on its surface.To get around this, painters developed the Fat Over Lean rule. With each layer of glaze, add an increased amount of oil paint to the layer. This way, the rate of oxygen begin absorbed by an oily top layer will be slower than the hidden lower, less oily layers, and hopefully they will saturate with oxygen and harden at approximately the same time.

This leads to other tricks and techniques too.  If you use too little oil in an early glaze, it can obliterate the drawing or painting underneath that you want to show through all the thin transparent glazes. It also can make the paint too pasty and thick, which is unworkable for fine detail. So, in the early, lower glazes, sometimes solvents such as turpentines are added.

To answer the question above about the dandelion salad, oils themselves are not harmful. An open container of say, safflower oil on the table will do no more harm to breathe in than some extra-virgin olive oil with Balsamic vinegar and a few chili flakes on your table for bread.  It’s the solvents you have to be especially wary of. Even some of the odorless ones have harmful vapors, although it’s possible nowadays to buy non-toxic alternatives.

Choosing The Oil Painting That Fits Your Home

If you are thinking about decorating your home, acquiring an oil painting is a great way of accomplishing this. It doesn't matter what style your home is, be it modern, classical or Victorian there is an oil painting that will fit your style. With the explosion of galleries, online art websites and auction houses the chances of not finding the perfect piece of art for your home is nearly impossible today.

Understanding colors and layout of the room - When looking at the room make note of the wall space. Is there enough room to hang the painting, are the walls mostly windows? What are the colors of the walls, will they make the painting standout? Each room is different, the family room is a place where the family congregates and usually watches TV or other activities. So a relaxing or serene painting might not fit into this type of room. Take in the room in, look at the color, the furniture, the lighting and use this information to determine what type of painting would be right for the room.

Room style - The furniture in the room defines your style for that room. Is the room modern, Victorian or traditional. Choosing a Modern Oil Paintings and placing it in the modern will not have the desired effect. The painting you choose should complement the room and the room should complement the painting. The painting you choose should enhance and complete the room's style.

Room color - There are so many paint colors on the market today that many people have changed their wall color to one of these fancy new wall colors. Choosing a painting that consists of many colors and hanging it on a colorful wall the painting will most likely get lost. Using neutral colors in a room will allow your painting to standout. Neutral colors are in the family of whites and tans. Using these colors will allow your painting to "pop" on the wall. Before changing the color on the wall take a photo of painting and use it to see what the painting would look like on the wall in the room. This will help you make a decision on the wall color and the painting you choose.

Painting size - Many people make the mistake of purchasing a painting that is either too small or too large for the room. Oil paintings are much different than prints, posters or any other type of medium, to appreciate an oil painting, artists normally paint them on a larger scale. These paintings need to be viewed from a distance to be appreciated. When acquiring an oil painting make sure the wall size is large enough to fit the oil painting. You need to have enough space around the painting for the artwork to look proportionally correct.

Decorate your room with paintings



Modern Oil Paintings provide a great deal of interest and intrigue to just about any type of room in any type of home.To give you an idea of how modern art paintings can spice up any room, here are some suggestions for paintings and how they can further inspire exceptional room designs.

Dining Room
Adding a painting of bright yellow sunflowers on a crisp blue background, or a vase full of beautiful irises on a pale green background can evoke a feeling of serenity and give the sensation you have been transported to a quaint countryside.  Adding table linens, accessories, and dishware with complimentary colors such as yellows, blues, purples, and greens can create a delicate, yet tasteful eating environment.

Living Room
Seascapes are quite popular for living room spaces.  A simple painting such as a wooden canoe tied to a pier, or a fleet of fishing boats hung over a fireplace provokes an air of sophistication and adds instant class and appeal to the room.  These pieces work quite well regardless of whether your furniture is modern, country, or traditional.

Bedrooms
Smaller sets of oil paintings in the style of still life are quite beautiful in any type of bedroom.  The soft muted colors provide comfort and peace, while making the space seem quite cozy and homey.  Tie the colors of the paintings into the bed linens, carpets, wall paint, and wallpaper and you have instant beauty.

Family Rooms
These rooms often look the best with modern oil paintings that are dramatic in color and in size.  Large landscapes add instant drama, depth, and create the illusion of the area being larger than it may truly be.  Darker colors, and paintings that are a bit busier in nature a perfect options for family spaces.
How good you want to arrange your room yet?
