Go Abstract! The Curve Trend
Posted by East End Prints on 15th Feb 2023
Abstract art is a style of visual art that uses a non-representational form to create an emotional response in the viewer. It doesn’t show a subject, it uses shapes and colours to represent it instead.
It’s a style of art that has been used for centuries to represent ideas and emotions with a focus on unusual forms and curves to help create unique imagery. Abstract art is not about what something looks like, but rather how it makes you feel or think.
Abstract art has become popular among artists and collectors alike. With many people looking for something different to hang on their walls, abstract art offers a new perspective on what art can be. Not only are the individual pieces unique but their flexibility means they can suit many styles.

Why Does Abstract Art Work In The Home?
When it comes to art in the home, the most important thing is how it makes you feel. Most of us don't want to fill our homes with prints and artwork that might make a space feel gloomy, so mood and colour becomes much more important when we're looking for prints for spaces that are supposed to bring us comfort. Abstract artwork offers plenty of opportunities here.
For a style so popular throughout history, abstract art has also secured it’s place in the stylish modern home.
Abstract art, like this piece by Inoui is absolutely perfect for any space in the home. Its simple shapes, curves and colours add a lot of vibrance to a space without requiring complexity.
Abstract artwork is not limited to any single colour palette, there are options to match every style. This makes abstract artwork much more flexible in its use and positioning than some other styles that rely on more muted colour palettes.
Styling Abstract Art
Abstract art is often very open to interpretation and this means it has a broader range of potential uses and styling options. Abstract art is popular in kitchens, living space and even bathrooms. It's also a popular option for styling offices and workplaces because of its often neutral subject matter.
Many use abstract artwork with curves and shapes as a key part of a gallery wall. Typically, when creating a gallery wall there needs to be a balance between intricate designs or those focused on a particular subject, and those that are intended to balance out the colours. Abstract art pieces can work wonderfully as standalone pieces, but they can also be the perfect complimentary piece for a more complex piece of art.
Of course, not all abstract art is simple in its form. There are varying degrees of complexity using simple curves, shapes or more complex imagery.
