Abstract Canvas Wall Art For a Modern Home


Turquoise Twist by JaMax
 

What else would look good in a modern minimalistic home but an abstract canvas wall art. Even though art trends keep changing, abstract art is going to be popular for a very long time. Artists sometimes change the mediums used for abstract art. Back then oil paint was often used, but these days artists use acrylic, and other mixed media like screens, wood, sand, and even metal.

Mixed medium abstracts are gaining popularity too but classic abstract will remain trendy for a long time. Abstract art can be found in single piece paintings or in canvas art sets of 2 to 8 or more pieces. Canvas sets are very interesting and can add to the modernism of a home because they aren't conventional or traditional.

Another option for abstract canvas wall art are minimalist pieces which stick to one to 2 colors. The designs on these types of paintings are...well...minimalist and very simple. You can find minimalist paintings in black and white just like modern black and white photographs. These are perfect for a streamlined and clean minimalist look.

When searching for canvas wall art for your home or for a friend, take note of the home or room's color theme. Avoid getting paintings that have the exact same color as the wall so you can create interesting contrast. Get a color that is present in other decor pieces in the room like the rug, throw pillows, etc. Use a color wheel if that will help you choose an appropriate color.
Abstract canvas can be minimalist, in surrealism style, neoclassic, expressionist, or mixed media. If you want to get a painting that will last, get oil paintings on gallery wrapped canvas. These canvas wall art are painted on the best quality canvas that also look great without being framed. You can hang it straight out of the box, especially if they come ready to hang.

  1. I agree. I know my home is filled with abstract art pieces. Although, technically I can't take the credit for this, I used to live with an Artist. Lol
