Photo Art - a modern classic in galleries and homes

Photo art is the trend that in recent decades has come to grow so strong, that today it is considered a modern classic. You will find it both in the home and in large well known art galleries around the world. Photographic art means that the boundaries between photography and art have been blurred, when the photo artist, for example, had a message to convey, took a more artistic portrait or used his photographic skills to create completely unique expressions. But is the art form really that new?

 

In fact, the very first box camera, Camera Obscura, came already in the 16th century. At the time, it was used by artists who wanted to be able to paint things with a central perspective. But despite that, it was only during 1960s that photography came to be recognized as a pure art form, on the same wavelength as acrylic and oil paintings. Among the most recognized art photographers today, you will find big names such as Imogen Cunningham, Annie Leibovitz, Martin Stranka, and Ansel Adams.

Personal decoration with photographic posters

With photographic posters and photo paintings, you can easily furnish a home that feels both personal and alive, regardless of which interior style you prefer. Photo art is trendy, timeless, and has a great ability to touch and capture its viewers.

 

There are many ways to style the home with large and small photo paintings. You can hang a large photo poster for a really dramatic effect, or combine several different motifs and formats in the form of a stylish picture wall. But it can also be very effective to combine photo art with other art forms, such as graphic prints, abstract art, and text boards. in this way, you can create a picture wall with a clear personal expression.

 

If you like a clean and timeless look, black and white photo art is a safe bet. The monochrome style is easy to match and fits with the vast majority of interior styles. Black and white photo art can be as visually dramatic and cool as it can be underestated, minimalist, and romantic. If you instead want a creative eye catcher that is full of life and personality, you can dare to take the turns with motifs in color. Mix colors and motifs completely as you feel, or, color coordinate according to a certain color palette, for a more balanced look.
