Stained II

Ever since Kandinsky and Malevich, geometric abstraction has become a hot trend in modern art. And while it seems that making a succession of varicolored lines and quadrates requires no special talent and skill, some of such paintings are sold and forgotten and some, like the famous Black Square or Mondrian’s tableaus, go down in history. How does our eye distinguish a random geometric pattern from a work of art and what is the recipe for creating one? There is no clear answer. But, without doubt, geometric art is indispensable if you are aiming for a sleek, stylish and contemporary-looking interior design. Here are a few reasons to decorate your home with paintings of the kind.

What makes geometric paintings so interior-friendly?

-    They are neat, trendy and appealing. A picture like that will always be to the point.

-    They are universal and fit nicely into any interior. You can use geometric art in both traditional and experimental contexts.

-    They work well with any other decorative patterns and wall art regardless of their style and theme. You don't have to worry about matching them o the rest of your room design.

-    Geometric abstractions can be seen as a form of art therapy. Various versions of color grids and circle patterns can produce relaxing and invigorating effects on the viewer reducing your stress level and improving your mood.
