New Organic Canvas Art

Artwork Updates: [June 2008]

We have a new selection of Organic Canvas art prints fresh on the site. This is an update on the Organic section, featuring loads of beautifully photographed shots of nature.

So, black and white is a key theme for 2008, so there is plenty here to choose from. "Bare Trees" is one of my personal favourites, it is quite unlike anything on whole of the WHoArtNow site. It's blurry, out of focused trees and branches make it quite abstract in nature, and I just love the whole half and half feel with it, the bottom part being entirely black. Cracking stuff, in the right enviorment, the right space, it would look lethal.

The black and white theme continues, the "Lone Pine" photograph has something about it, a fantastic composition with bold piney leaves is maybe what does it for me. There is quite a few tree and forest related canvas prints here too, "The Dead Forest" is one and "A Old English Garden" is on a similar tip. If abstract is your thing, the "Tree Limbs" print has got some interest. "Pebbles" finally is a good old fashioned greyscale photograph, with a bit of focal interest. Soft & smooth pebbles on a beach bring some shaded texture to this design, and it's a bit of a move on from classic photos like Peaceful & Balanced.


Now if colour is more your thing, there are a few cheeky prints to inject some vibrancy & add a bit more of a focal point into your chosen room. "Tangerine View" is a powerful photograph, the deep Mandarin colours from the sunset sets off some amazing colours in the corn field & gives the print an abstract, artist quality. You could try mixing this print in with subtle hints of orange in a room. Scattering orange cushions on a deep red leather sofa for example...

Sitting next to it is "Raspberry View"which is unsurprisingly a "fruity" coloured canvas. Any hints of this raspberry colour in a room would complement the predominant colours in this canvas. "Crimson Corner" is again, very colour orientated print. Minimal and abstract, it's subtlety and artist composition is something that would accentuate the right wall.

Tate Modern hits the "Streets"

This Morning the Tate Modern opened its doors on its first Street Art exhibition even though pictures have been floating around for a few days.

6 of the worlds most influential street artists have erected these monster pieces. In the picture right you can see the work by Sixeart (Spain), JR (France) and Faile (USA).

The free exhibition also features work from Nunca and Os Gemeos (Brazil) who previously worked together on the Graffiti Project at Kelburn Castle in Scotland


Italian Blu is also on display (see left) after a great few months for him. Some of you may have seen Blu's recent animation 'Muto' appearing on the internet over the last few weeks. I expect to be seeing more and more of Blu's amazing style of art and can't wait to get some on a canvas soon.

If your planning a trip this Bank Holiday weekend and fancy taking in some breathtaking art, pop down to the Tate Modern. If your lucky enough to be about on Monday, head on up to the level 2 Café and watch Graffiti Research Lab have a fun day with some kids of London. Stay till the evening when Graffiti Research Lab will be projecting the kids art work onto the side of the Tate Modern.

2008 Interior Design Trends - Optimism

Optimism is not all about white. Its the subtle mix of chalky and milky shades of whites and greys to add depth of layers and texture to a room. Matte and gloss finishes contrast and are a must in this anti-child almost heavenly interior.

Adding to the white feel, the use of soft pinks and yellows add definition to the room, and some subtle abstract canvas art work using the same shades of whites and greys.

This interior scheme is brilliant for almost any type of room or house, small boxy rooms look fantastic because it opens the room up and adds space. Whereas already large rooms with high ceilings and original moulds end up looking vast and commanding. However, invest in the slightly more expensive wipe clean paints to keep the interior looking fresh.


Eclectic furniture is the thing at the moment, and this pallet works brilliantly with all things eclectic, go nuts, just no vivid colours and plenty of texture from textiles and canvas artwork.This soft and delicate trend will stay popular during 2009 because of its easy pallet and simplicity.
