Buying contemporary art doesn’t need to be a daunting experience. It should be a fun and exciting experience, where you have the opportunity to view and purchase a wide range of contemporary art by both well-established and new emerging artists. What a lot of people find intimidating about buying art is the concept of what is ‘good’ art and what is ‘bad’ are. No one wants to be accused of investing in worthless art.

The important thing to remember when you’re looking at buying contemporary art is that you’re buying the piece for yourself and your home. We generally buy art that we see as an extension or representation of ourselves, our ideals and what’s important in our lives. When buying contemporary art you should always choose art that makes you feel good and will enhance or add to the atmosphere of your home.

The best way you can ensure you’ll buy contemporary art for your home that is both complementary of your home and enduring in value is to first spend some time looking at different artists and pieces of art. Select a few pieces that you really like and see if you can identify some commonalities in the pieces. It may be something obvious like the use of colours, scenes or textures. You may notice that you are drawn to a particular medium of art, like acrylic paintings or glass art.

By looking at a range of art you will start to develop your ‘eye’ for art and your particular tastes and interests. However, like fashion, your tastes in buying contemporary art may change in another one or two months. So when you’re looking to make a larger art investment ensure that the piece you choose is well suited to your core taste and is not extremely over-the-top or dramatically different to your usual art preference – you may later come to regret the purchase.

You don’t necessarily need to buy from a well-established artist. You also don’t need to be any kind of ‘talent scout’ looking for the next big thing when looking to buy from new and emerging artists. The reason many people buy from emerging artists is the opportunity to own a quality piece of art to hang in their home at a fraction of the cost of established artist counterparts. If you’re purely looking to decorate your home with original contemporary art, it is well worth your time doing some research on the Internet and attending local art fairs.

If you’re looking to buy contemporary art as an investment, you will find it helpful to visit art galleries and enlist the help of a professional art advisor. Art advisors work with you to get an idea of your tastes and lifestyle to help build your own art vision and create a sound investment in your art collection.

Buying contemporary art should in no way be an intimidating experience. Remember that your art collection should be a representation of yourself and your own particular tastes in art, don’t let others tell you what is good or bad art.

Abstract Art, Abstract Art on Canvas, Contemporary Abstract Painting petesoriginalart.com FIRE UP YOUR IMAGINATION WITH FIRE ART Fire art is a remarkable mélange of media conformed by the simple act of combustion: blacksmithing, glassblowing, metal casting, welding and the purely artistic freeform display of fire sculpture. When we think of fire art, we naturally consider practicalities and think of an outdoor spectacle, perhaps on the Fourth of July or other jubilant holiday, something with a demonstration of fire art on a grand scale. Its true, the nature of fire makes us remember happy camping trips and the way that fire played the role of ending the long days filled with outdoor activities. When we roasted wieners over the open flames, all sorts of primal memories stirred, that of camaraderie between clan members as they roasted the results of that days hunt, or moving along in history, the bonfires of a nineteenth-century American election night. Outsized emotions grow from any display of fire and a fire festival such as the Crucible in West Oakland, California, has entranced audiences for ten years. Growing from a simpler festival having to do with the straightforward uses of fire in artistic endeavor, it now encompasses the disciplines of dance and opera to enthrall the people who attend each July. Even the science fiction aspect of fire art comes into play, as a Tesla coil has been used in the festival, and each observer took away with him the frazzling snaps of …

All original abstract paintings by Peter Dranitsin at PetesOriginalArt.com ABSTRACT ART IS COMPLEX TO EXPLAIN Abstract art will delight some and mystify others; therefore, it is necessary to define it, so that the viewer may decide for himself what is real and true. Abstract art springs from many sources, from the roots of Art Nouveau with its curlicues and swirls of industrial designer-type art and Cubism, that jagged sense of geometry imposing its will upon the natural world so that few can understand it, though many would discern in the angular line of a cityscape, for instance. But abstract art? From its beginnings in the breakaway schools of Impressionism and Picassos beginnings at the turn of the 20th century, abstract art departs from reality. This is strange for artists coming from a traditional school, with its emphasis on being true to reality and using the tools of the lines of perspective and the color wheel. Abstract art uses form and line and color to depict a subject abstractly, that is, its basis and not the uttermost detail of the artists view. Now and again the term abstract arises in modern day usage and indeed many are the painters of today who call themselves abstract artists. An abstract artist may use digital art via the computer or other methods that do not use canvases and paint, but the enduring lure of a canvas is that it is solid and real, a thing to hold, take down from the wall and over to the window to see what sunlight does to its colors …
