Decoratum on how to enhance homes with modern art

There is nothing that adds personality and vibrancy to a home better than well-chosen art, and many home owners turn to contemporary art as the natural choice to enhance a contemporary home.

Modern homes are often a perfect space for contemporary art, as a pared-back, minimalist decor can be ideal for art display.

Contemporary or modern art encapsulates an endless array of styles, colours and subjects, so you can find a piece that truly speaks to you and transforms your living space into a creative and inspirational setting.

From paintings, drawings and photographic works to sculptures, ceramics and glass pieces, modern art provides many mediums to accentuate modern decor.

Art websites have seen a massive boom in the last decade, and these allow for the perusal of thousands of art works online to find the perfect piece to suit your home.

However, the experience of browsing a gallery to see how a piece truly looks when displayed also has major merits.

Many galleries and online sellers will allow you to take a piece home to see how it works with your decor, with the option to return it if it doesn't fit just right.

One artist who has worked within the contemporary realm for many years is Spanish pop artist Antonio de Felipe.

His work features a range of 20th century icons, such as Marilyn Monroe, Disney's Snow White and the Converse sneaker, in an eclectic palette of primary colours.

His work has been showcased in more than 70 solo exhibitions all over the world, and his vivid pieces have brought vibrancy to interiors such as the provincial government buildings of Cadiz, Cordoba and Seville.

De Felipe's work is now available in the UK, with pieces currently displayed and sold at Decoratum Gallery in Marylebone, London.
