New Interior Design 09 Art Range

"Timeless" 2009 Interior Design Canvas Art Range

Following the success of the bespoke range of art for the 2008 range Invidia, we have decided to do more range designs tailor made for our Interior Trends predictions.

Timeless is essentially a move on from the hugely successful Invidia 08. You always see it - in fashion and interiors, wherever there are seasons with very successfully trends, you can guarantee that next season will sport a 'move on' from last years top dog. Where Invidia was defined by it's Opulence and OTT nature, the Black on Black with hints of gold and metallics has been replaced by a more subtle Black on white with subtle highlight colours. Over the top Gold stately frames & mirrors have moved on to more discerning chromes, silvers & metallics. Timeless focuses on Baroque style motifs, which are similar to the simple Invidia Vintage Wallpaper designs, but can now be much more complex and focus on detail. The black and white makes a simple, bold statement, and is possibly more commercial in nature than its black on black predecessor.

Black and White is fantastic to work with, there are so many options open to you. I wouldn't say that you can't get it wrong, but Monochrome is somewhat easier to work with in the interior context. Colour-wise, it's not just black and whites here, you want to be looking at some very deep shades of blues or purples for subtle infused colour. Darker shades of grey, like dark slate greys also work well. In terms of accessories and highlights, you should be looking at some metallics. Chrome light switches, even candle stick holders ( Invidia 08 Style) and plug sockets act to highlight the subdued tones of black and whites. Remember, unlike Invidia, you are looking at silvers, not Golds.

To quote us as verbatim, "Timeless is the ultimate contrast both visually & metaphorically. A bold, brash & often bizarre clash of Baroque elegance & contemporary whites and blacks, Timeless is the ultimate bold statement. The intense combination of heavily contrasting colour works well in big rooms with high roofs & plenty of light -preferably natural sunlight to set off the natural wood flooring. "

"Timeless" will give you the chance to mix the weird and wonderful Kitsch & clash it with the ultra modern. (Think 20's Vintage wallpapers with Plasma screens) And why the hell not after all? The more modern and technologically advanced we get, the more eclectic I like to go. After all, you can't have everything modern in a room, or your living area will start to look like the control room on the Starship Enterprise. Mix and match is the way forward, be bold and daring, trust your instincts. You could get down the local car boot, get on the Internet on auction sites, or even better - go along to a local auction house where you will be presented the opportunity to walk away with some real, classic vintage accessories for your abode.

Then, you can mix and match some carefully selected and bespoke, canvas art. On the art route, you could opt for bold art to work with the contrasting background, or even art that actually is the background... Think sections of wallpaper, enlarged and printed on canvas.. The sky is the limit here.

New Urban Canvas Art

New Art updates [June 2008]

We have some more brand new Urban art for all you lovely people! As we've already produced very successfully, a lot of digital Urban designs, we have decided to expand the whole urban range, and complement the existing designs with some subtle, striking photography.

This time, we've gone for a plenty of black and white "Monochromes" which are right on trend for 08. So expect to see a load of cityscape's and skylines, a fair few elongated canvases too. The highlights are the "Long Dark Tunnel" print, an abstract, almost radial blur of a Tunnel, in black and white. "A long Highway Exposure" Canvas print see a move on to the successful motion blurs of city roads, like the massively popular "Denver Haze"

There are a few delicate and subtle sunsets too. "San Fran Sunset" is a view from 52nd floor, a greyscale photo with a minimal sunset at the top. The "Old Clipper" ship photo is very interesting. Almost inverted in colour, it's striking black and white abstract imagery would look stunning on most walls.

Then we've got some classic British black and white imagery. The old West Pier on Brighton beach, which was lost to a massive fire in 2003. We've got a couple of canvas prints - The first is a classic black and white photograph of Brighton in a rough storm. The other Brighton Pier print has a more tranquil feel, and depicts a view over the beach with a peachy sunset in the background.

Some of the other imagery of note is the
"City Fog" Black & White Canvas, a definitive New York residential scene with the hot air rising. The "Stair Street-Provence" has a less urban feel, more of a French rural setting. The "Cafe Tables" vibe with an abstract look with a similar, cosmopolitan feel. These prints are black and white too, and looking to be classed in brand new section, which focuses on " Monochrome", or black and white imagery. Coming soon to WHoArtNow!!

So, that's it for the Urban artwork updates for now. For the full range of prints, please feel free to visit the Urban pages,
where you will find all these beautiful new designs! Watch this space, loads more art on the way. Expect to find more prints and artwork in the Organic Section, Some NY Graffiti art macro photos, and a few cheeky textured floral prints.
