art, objects and individual perspectives

art and objects bring a particular perspective to an interior. this july 2020 archive brings together seven artists, photographers and design references whose work offered distinct approaches to colour, composition and form.

our art selection service in melbourne considers the relationship between a work, its setting and the people who live with it. we also collaborate with artists on commissioned pieces.

 
Colourful botanical painting above a dark sideboard with woven-front doors.

kate mayes

botanical shapes and layered colour distinguish the kate mayes works in this archive. their movement invites a quieter surrounding palette, allowing the painting to remain a deliberate focal point rather than a decorative afterthought.

 
Pink-toned ceramic vases holding yellow flowers on a muted pink surface.

dinosaur designs

the dinosaur designs selection explores colour through rounded vessels and asymmetric forms. a small collection can create rhythm across a shelf or table, with space between pieces allowing their silhouettes and surface to be appreciated.

 
Colourful abstract artwork above a slim console beside black-framed glazing.

beth kennedy

pattern and colour meet in the beth kennedy reference. the relationship between translucent washes and more defined areas offers a useful starting point for selecting supporting textiles, without reproducing every colour in the artwork throughout the room.

 
Gallery interior displaying large artworks along pale walls.

andrew vukosav

andrew vukosav’s aerial photography introduces a wider view of the australian landscape. large photographic works need consideration of viewing distance, wall proportion and framing, alongside the architecture and light of their setting.

 
Framed stylised portrait on a timber cabinet beside sculptural vessels and dried foliage.

angus martin

fragmented shapes and contrasting colour give the angus martin selection its character. choosing art is a personal process: a work’s composition and scale matter, but so does the client’s connection with it.

 
Amber glass vessel with a brass-toned base and dried flower on veined stone.

marmoset found

the marmoset found objects provide a different scale of expression through glass and ceramics. a vessel can link a material palette or introduce an unexpected note, with restraint allowing individual pieces to hold their own.

 
Framed photograph of boats against vertical timber panelling.

james geer

the james geer reference brings photography into the conversation. imagery, framing and placement can be considered together, rather than selected independently of the room.

through interior decoration and styling, art, furniture and objects are brought into a cohesive arrangement. these archive references are a starting point for looking, rather than a statement of current ranges or availability.
