Making A Statement With Art

William Vanscoy	No Place To Fall

 

 

“No Place to fall” is a beautiful, lively photograph taken by none other than William Vanscoy. Vanscoy believed that what was being expressed made photographic art rather than what was being seen. He merged together traditional and digital photographic landscape because he believed it was important to capture the beauty of life and nature.

 

Style Of Art

William Vanscoy did a wonderful job with making this piece one that is well sought-after. By capturing timeless and detailed scenery, his photographs look as if you are looking at the scenery in person rather than a photograph. Vanscoy uses digital capture and extensive digital post-production to make his photographs. Sometimes he combines multiple photographs to create one realistic image. “No Place to fall” made it clear that Vanscoy did not need to describe or give further explanation to his pieces; he rather lets them speak for themselves. This gives the viewer a wide range of imagination to explore while looking at this photograph. This piece creates a sense of:

·         Wonder.

·         Serenity.

·         Beauty.

·         Self-expression.

 

This photograph is not explained which leaves it up to you to interpret the meaning.

Accenting The Piece

“No Place to fall” is a very bold piece. Although it is a big enough statement on its own, it can easily use small accents when hanging in a room. This piece could go well in any type of room but would work very well in a living room. By using beige, brown or dark tan colors around the room, this photograph will pop even more. Making this the focal point of the room would be a bold choice and really pay off when your guests can’t take their eyes off of it. Pairing the photograph with a beige colored picture frame would contrast with the darkness of the painting and bring out the details of the work.

 

Unintentional Popularity 

Many owners of this piece describe it as “beautiful” and that is exactly what it is. Vanscoy captured this scenery perfectly. Some elements that reflect beauty are:

·         The sun shining through the trees.

·         The balance between light and dark.

·         The extreme detail in the photograph that Vanscoy captured.

·         The aspect of serenity.

 

Because of these elements, there is no question why this piece is so popular. Why wouldn’t you want to have this calming and beautiful photograph in your house or place of work? The only way to explain this photograph to a viewer would be to call it a “statement piece.” You could add other photographs around that complement “No Place to fall” but it could also work well standing on its own. This is such a bold piece; you could have bare beige colored walls with this, as your only hanging piece and the room would be beautiful.

 

Although the piece could be interpreted many different ways, one thing we can all agree on is the beauty is exudes. With the contrast, realism and serenity of this photograph, it’s no wonder it’s so popular and could work so well in many different settings.

Christopher Bliss	Night Skyline

Christopher Bliss's photography is a great addition to any decor style. Growing up in the beautiful city of New York, Bliss's work reflects the architecture and skylines he grew up with. His work is mostly in black and white making the contrast able to work with most decor. The architecture and contrast of the photographs are striking and subtle allowing them to work in any environment. Architecture photographs are able to play off the light in any room, naturally or artificial lit. 

You have your choice of scenery in color or black and white and of architecture or nature, and even your choice of city. From a bedroom sanctuary to the busy kitchen, his work can fit right in. If you adore the city or nature, he has art to suit your home. Christopher Bliss finds inspiration in the invigorating city, and you can too with his photographs.

Originally trained as a concert pianist at the Vienna Academy of Music, the Manhattan School of Music, and the University of Southern California, and now turned photographer, Christopher Bliss's art is truly beautiful. Christopher Bliss Photography reflects this as the photographs are as detailed as a piece of beautiful music.

 

His photography is held in high esteem and he is often sought after. His work can be found in several galleries and even in two separate photography books, one of which is on the beautiful New York City. Some of his work is even in the permanent collection of the Museum of the City of New York.

Father’s day was first proclaimed in 1910, but it was not until 1972 that it became a nationwide holiday. If you’re celebrating Father’s day, the question of gifts often comes up. Ideas abound, but if you know the special man in your life is an avid golfer or an aspiring one, why not consider golf art? It will be the perfect sentiment for a day designated to express appreciation, love and gratitude. Golf art will grace his walls and he will be reminded of the gift giver (yes, that's you!) every time he looks at it. Consider these golf art for dad:

 

Golf Scene

http://www.fulcrumgallery.com/Golf-Course-Hawaii-Coast_110297.htm?sku=R110297-AEAAAAHAEY

A beautiful golf course, set on rolling plains, beside a lake perhaps. Or a postcard-perfect picture of ice-capped mountains in the far distance with manicured greens, framed by trees. A picturesque turf-meets-surf scene set in Hawaii or one on the hills? The truth is pictures of golf courses are not just beautiful to look at, they offer an escape---the go-to place when a little dreaming is needed, perhaps when work becomes demanding or life is too much.

 

 

 

Vintage Golf Scene

Perhaps your dad appreciates antiques and throwbacks to the good old days. He collects antique golf paraphernalia and enjoys learning more about the history of golf. If that’s the case, why not consider vintage golf pictures? It can be one with a light humor like Free Golf (with the caption “Play golf free while getting your suit pressed.") or a single picture of golf clubs and golf balls in sepia tone. Vintage golf pictures make for a classic collection that will withstand the whims of change and style.

Golf Word Art

Words are clever little things. They can make you laugh; cry, pine, wishful or they can inspire or take you to that special place in your heart that no one can go. Golf word art uses words to express golf sentiments, whether they are observations that ring true or just telling as it is. For instance, Karen Tribett Golf (Golf: Where you yell “fore,” shoot “six,” write “five.”) may strike a chord with golfers.

 

 

 

Golf Shots Series

Capture the many faces and stances of golfers with golf art. From a picture of concentration to one of anticipation as the ball tees off, the golf shots series capture the different moods and stances well from the Sand shot to The Drive to The Putt. Buy a series to create that visual effect – a gift so priceless, it will make your dad proud.
