How Abstract Art is Transforming Interiors
These days we often see large-scale abstract artworks feature as the centrepiece of beautifully curated rooms. But what is it about abstract art that makes it work so effortlessly in living spaces?

Abstract art is the perfect complement to interior spaces due to its unique ability to introduce emotion and atmosphere without imposing a fixed narrative. Its openness invites personal interpretation, allowing each piece to feel uniquely connected to its surroundings. Through expressive colour and line, abstract art brings energy and depth to a room, while its inherent versatility enables it to complement styles ranging from minimal modernism to maximalist design schemes. Read on to explore our top abstract picks currently on display at our New Bond Street gallery, until Sunday, 8th March.

Through Jan-Ole Schiemann's style of autmoatic mark-making, the viewer is invited to uncover their own meaning in his canvases of ever-shifting, dynamic forms and characters. The artist delights in the idea of illusion, offering just the hint of a human face, or the silhouette of an object, only to disappear into the composition once more as the viewer’s eye roams across the canvas.
 
 
'S-Works: Specialized No. 36' by Andreas Bruenig
Oil, graphite, and charcoal on canvas
Andreas Bruenig’s abstract practice features chaotic, colourful lines ruled by impulse. At first glance 'S-Works: Specialized No.36' might seem erratic and tumultuous, but further inspection reveals the carefully considered layout. Bruenig's expressive, charged gestures are in fact neatly organized into grids creating a harmonious composition. Conveyed through bold colour and dynamic brushstrokes, the work explores the tensions between chaos and control.
