Every holiday or event has conventional images, symbols and colours associated with them. While Halloween has pumpkins, orange shades and zombie green tones, Christmas uses a rich, organic green, complimenting the crimson red of a winterberry perfectly. Mother’s Day is synonymous with cheery spring shades and a variety of bright blooms, resulting many mothers receiving bouquets of their favourite flower at this time of year. Although many love these floral themed treats, not all mums are as enamoured by flowers and wildlife as the gift industry may make us believe!
If your mum shies away from chintz and is contemporary, chic and mad for all things modern and minimal, here are some paintings for sale that will satisfy her carefully refined personal style.
Drama – Juha Agren
This limited edition giclée print fits in with the classic monochrome trend perfectly, using only shades of black, white and grey to create a multi-layered, moody image. Although the scene is rich with texture and detail, the limited colour palette keeps the piece calm, considered and ultimately, minimal. Stripped back and bare yet full of depth, this is the ultimate piece for any modern mother.
Two Dishes – David Lyon
Modern art doesn’t need to lack in colour or style and this oil pastel piece proves it. Whether your mother loves cooking or collects odds and ends, this simplistic, sophisticated duo of dishes is nothing short of perfection. A warm, muted colour palette of mustard and crimson tones set off the monochrome bowls, making them stand out against the earthy backdrop.
Baby Love – Joss Rossiter
Vibrant works of art compliment modern, minimal homes wonderfully, adding interest to the ‘blank canvas’ walls and creating a focal point in every room. This contemporary acrylic painting by Joss Rossiter was made for this purpose, injecting any environment with energy. Although the joy in her work shines through in every painting by Joss, we chose this one for Mother’s Day, as it depicts a familiar scene of mother and child.
Earth – Mireia Izquierdo
This acrylic abstract painting ticks all the boxes for both the neutral and metallic colour trends that are now seen in so many homes. Although the colour used is subtle, it has a sophisticated end result. Whether your mother decides to place it in her living room or her dressing room, choosing this chic contemporary piece will certainly pay compliment to her taste.
If you’re undecided on which painting to purchase for your mother this March, do get in touch. We will be happy to advise to ensure she receives the perfect piece.
