There are hundreds of art styles so we’ll showcase the most popular. That way you won’t be overwhelmed and it will be less frustrating to find the right artwork for your interiors.

Let’s begin with abstract  –

 

ABSTRACT

Abstract art is a VERY popular style in which an artist uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to represent an element from the actual world separated from its true form. The artist depict objects and uses colors to express feelings.

Abstract art is a non-objective, non-representational style that simplifies real life in order to highlight the artists’ perception of reality.

This popular art style displays well in minimalist and tonal settings.

URBAN

On the flip side of nature is urban and architecture. The term “urban art” refers to works that originate in urban surroundings and are sometimes created by artists who live in these urban spaces or cities and want to portray city life and their experiences.

This art style focuses on urban lifestyles and spaces, and the artists use many types of materials and production styles to pay tribute to the urban environment.

FIGURATIVE

Since ancient times, figurative art has been the purpose of art-making. It is the art of realistic or impressionistic portrayal. Historically, figurative artists were inspired by real-world objects and frequently included human figures. It is seen as a contrast to abstract art, which lacks recognized elements and is also known as non-representational art.

Place figurative art in locations around your home that you’d like people to pay attention to because humans are hardwired to see faces. Even babies take note of faces and eye gaze and pay special notice to those faces that are familiar.
