Art & Design August 25, 2008

Design trends don’t influence fine art; rather, fine art influences design trends.

Art is becoming the dominant feature in the design world. Now, more than ever, rooms are being designed around the art instead of the décor. New techniques and cutting edge innovations in art are leading the way for other design trends. The bold graphics prevalent in much of today’s fine art are influencing simple, clean lines in décor with less decorative furniture.

Art and design have always been related, but today, experimentation and personal expression are the name of the game. Homeowners are using art to make a personal statement – your art choice has to inject a fresh outlook and say something unique about your home and you. As such, designers often prefer to have their clients select their own art that reflects their individual taste and personality. Read more on how to start with art when redecorating.

Current trends

Alternative mediums – Make an original statement with innovative techniques such as art combining texture-rich mediums like resin, oil and other mixed media.

Graphic art styling – The geometric and abstract styles and color palettes of the 60’s and 70’s are making a stylish comeback.

Olympics Art Prints @ ArtRev.com – David Schluss August 24, 2008

“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” – Olympic Creed

As we celebrate the spirit of Olympic sportsmanship, we would like to highlight the importance of David Schluss as one of the official artists of the US Olympic team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

As the official artist of the US Olympic team, David Schluss received the honor of creating a painting that captured the ideals of unity and world peace of the greatest celebration of earth. The result of this commission is his acclaimed painting, “We Are the Champions”, which is garnering international attention. The original “We Are the Champions” will be donated to the Art Museum of the USA Olympic team.

“We Are the Champions” (13”H X 19”W) is available as a serigraph on:

Paper (Edition of 180)
