What Makes A Good Piece?

Original Purpose - Abstract art was originally created to depict realistic things that have been reduced to their most basic structure. Nowadays, abstract art doesn’t need to resemble real objects as the expression of artists has become even more abstract.

Transcendence - Abstract art represents its own reality. The artwork should give the viewer a window into another world.

Emotion - What does the artwork tell you when you look at it? What feelings did the artist embed into the artwork? This is especially an important quality to look for when searching for abstract art for the living room.

Harmony - The colors should create harmony for the viewer. The colors don’t necessarily have to be complimentary. Hence the name abstract. They should work well with each other to create an effect though.

Texture - Abstract paintings are created in layers. Each layer is placed to add more significance to the work of art to convey more feeling to the viewer.

How to Arrange Abstract Art on a Wall
