Abstract Art: A Growing Trend for Home and Office Owners

And the reason I create and sell so much abstract art

Abstract art has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially among homeowners and office owners. This style of art, which does not depict a recognizable subject, has a unique ability to evoke emotions and bring a sense of beauty to a space. In this week’s newsletter, I explore why abstract art is so popular and why it's worth investing in new and upcoming artists in the UK, especially those from local communities.

I have found that my abstract art has been the most successful in terms of sales and also direct feedback when I post the images on social media platforms. But just what is it about abstract art that is making it so popular? Let’s explore some ideas.

Adds a Unique Touch to Interiors

Abstract art is known for its bold use of color, form, and texture, making it a standout choice for interior décor. It can be used to make a statement in a room or complement existing décor. It's a way to personalize a space and make it feel more like home.

Evokes Emotions

Abstract art has the power to stir emotions in ways that other art forms cannot. It can be thought-provoking, calming, or even uplifting. The lack of recognizable subjects in abstract art allows the viewer to create their own interpretation and make a personal connection to the piece.

Supports Local Artists

Investing in abstract art from new and upcoming artists in the UK, particularly local artists, is a great way to support the arts community. Buying from local artists helps to cultivate a vibrant arts scene, and it's a way to make a direct impact on someone's life and career. Moreover, many people seem to enjoy knowing that the artwork they have in their home or office was created by an artist they know or recognise within their own community, rather than being an almost anonymous or unknown entity.

Potential for Appreciation

Collecting abstract art from new and emerging artists can also be a wise investment. As artists gain recognition, their work often appreciates in value, making it a good option for those looking to build a valuable art collection. This is certainly the case for my own artwork. Since beginning to sell my art four years ago I have steadily increased my prices with each sale and the sales continue. This means that those who invested early in my art career now, potentially, have paintings worth more than when they made their initial purchase.

In conclusion, abstract art is a popular choice for homeowners and office owners because it can add a unique touch to interiors, evoke emotions, and support local artists. Investing in new and upcoming artists, especially those from the UK, can also offer the potential for appreciation. So, next time you're looking to add some art to your space, consider investing in an abstract piece from a local artist.
