Hanging Your Art

Most make the mistake of hanging artwork too high. Art is supposed to be at eye-level, but it shouldn’t be eye level to a guy who is 6-foot-3. When you hang artwork lower, you bring it into the room and make it much more part of the space. Rule of thumb: Artwork should hang so that its center is 60” from the ground, but it can go down to 56” from the ground if it looks better to you.

Each piece is uniquely created by KBR. From a home studio in rural Kansas; acrylics, oil pastels, crayon, ink and watercolors on paper, matte board, stretched canvas and raw canvas all create originals that are then digitally formatted so they can be easily enjoyed in many different mediums.

The fastest way to enjoy a newly purchased digital art piece is with your home printer.

Abstracts are ideal because they can be stretched a bit this way or that way to fit your ideal size, while retaining the bold color and strokes.

ARTIST’S COLLECTION

a FIRST ABSTRACT The abstract Test of Time, above, was the first abstract created by artist KBR. Painted with some leftover black acrylic craft paint on the back of a paper frame insert, a love for simple, bold brush strokes was born. Proving that a vision and passion to create can be far more effective than special products and tools.

LIVING WITH

ART

Historically, people have been overwhelmed and terrified by the idea of buying art for a variety of reasons; they fear filling a living space with art as intimidating and unattainable. People associate the word ‘art’ with what’s in museums and have pigeonholed the whole notion as too ‘highbrow.’ Many people assume that adding fantastic, eye-catching art to their walls is a decorating splurge not to mention that in the past ten to fifteen years, the auction houses have publicly reported astronomical figures every time they close a contemporary art auction, so a lot of people think that those are the average prices. Finally, there is the misconception that galleries are impenetrable by the average layperson or by those who aren’t wealthy. These are all myths that are simply untrue.

Decorating with art does not have to be a daunting proposition; first you must figure out what you like. Take your time and look at a lot of art; go to museums, walk through galleries, visit art fairs or open houses at local universities. Note what you like when you see it: on television, in a friend’s house, on the pages of a magazine or on a website. Have a conversation with yourself about what you like and why, and what you don’t like and why. It’s all about finding artwork that challenges you, moves you or reflects your sensibilities. Buying artwork shouldn’t be about filling a certain space on a wall or about the price. When you find the right piece, it should provoke a guttural response.
