Construction with feeling
Modern art is recognized by its stance: clear forms, a concentrated palette, a picture that describes nothing and yet shows a lot. Modern mixed media works with acrylic are for sale in this price band when your furnishing needs a distinct counterpart.
Acrylic gives clear color planes substance, paper collage gives layering, a stroke of charcoal gives nervousness. This combination makes modern compositions lively. They feel especially successful when planes overlap slightly instead of standing neatly apart.

Furniture and light
Modern pictures work above sofas, sideboards and dining tables. Choose a simple frame and a wall color that picks up one of the picture colors. Side light brings out structure without glare. Hang modern pictures slightly lower rather than higher, especially above sofas. The lower edge should end about a hand’s width above the backrest, so furniture and picture form a unit and the eye does not jump between them.
What to watch for
Ask about the support, varnish and dimensions. For large color planes a frame with a shadow gap is advisable, since it protects the edges and leaves the surface free.
