ABSTRACT ART IN YOUR HOME

"Before The Moon Went Down" Acrylic On Canvas 36" x 48"

How to effectively integrate abstract art pieces into your living spaces. Abstract paintings can add a dynamic and visually stimulating element to home decor, but it's important to consider factors such as color scheme, scale, and placement to ensure that the artwork complements the overall aesthetic of the room. Select abstract paintings that harmonize with existing furniture and decor, or possibly create a cohesive gallery wall or focal point with multiple pieces. Additionally, add the versatility of abstract art in different rooms of the house, from creating a calming atmosphere in the bedroom to adding a pop of color and energy to a living room or home office.

"Resonance # 12 Mixed Media on Paper 2

“RESONANCE SERIES” This artwork series showcases a dynamic composition of abstract elements, marrying bold brushstrokes with a delicate use of color that adds depth and intrigue. The combination of blues, oranges, and yellows interact with splashes of black and delicate washes that create a sense of fluidity and motion. The balance between the spontaneous lines and the soft diffusions of color suggests a thoughtful exploration of movement and energy.

This series excels in its ability to capture chaos and harmony simultaneously. The bold, sweeping lines demonstrate confidence and a robust command of the medium, guiding the viewer's eye with an intentionality that contributes to a captivating rhythm throughout the work. The interplay of light and dark tones creates a compelling contrast, allowing the colors to pop and maintain a lively tension.

Art thrives on experimentation and expression, and this artwork fruitfully navigates the fine line between control and spontaneity. This thoughtful balance promises a rich exploration of abstract art that invites and encourages viewers to develop their own interpretations. Such a creation stands as a testimony to the power of abstraction to evoke emotion and thought, making it a significant contribution to the world of contemporary art.

"Before The Moon Went Down Painting W. K. Johnson

This painting, part of a landscape series, captures the essence of a small town. It includes houses, trees, streets, and the moon, weaving together a vivid portrayal of the town's daily life. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in the community, experiencing its entirety in one glance. Reflecting the sentiment expressed in John Prine's lyrics from "In A Town This Size," the painting conveys the idea that in a close-knit town, there is no escaping the scrutiny of neighbors. The lyrics, "I had a fight with my girlfriend last night. Before the moon went down it was all over town," poignantly depict the interconnectedness and gossip filled atmosphere that may be characteristic of life in a town of this size.
