THE PROJECT
I am currently working on a beautiful Edwardian home project located in South-East Melbourne. We are nearing completion of an extensive renovation, and have re-decorated the home with a clean and sophisticated European aesthetic. My clients are in the later years of their careers, and the children have all moved out of home, so they wanted me to deliver a home that exuded luxury and sophistication - something that truly represents them at this stage in their lives.
THE DETAILS
The interiors consist of fresh crisp white walls to keep the focus on the historic period details, with some darker walls and cabinetry for moodiness and sophistication. Beautiful timber parquetry flooring, and a palette of blacks and darker blues in the furniture/soft furnishings, with a considered highlight of rich colour accents for further depth aim to take advantage of the light-reflective opportunities. Surfaces are high-quality and luxurious, with velvet, marble, brass, and beautiful timbers.
THE INSPIRATION
Some examples of artwork in properties with a similar aesthetic in which I have drawn inspiration:

THE CHOSEN ONE
Caroline Rannersberger
Ink & acrylic on linen
198cm x 97cm ea
priced individually
$10,000 AUD
Flinders Lane Gallery.
I have chosen these 2 beautiful artworks by Tasmanian painter and printmaker Caroline Rannersberger as I think they perfectly blend with the chosen colour scheme and sophisticated aesthetic we are aiming to achieve. The colour is rich and the texture substantial, and the light bounces off them highlighting the beautiful deep blues and greens which are also reflected in the sofa, lounge chairs and soft furnishings. I think that they are the perfect blend between traditional and contemporary art styles, which fits exactly with the concept of the interiors as a whole.
THE FRAMING
In order to follow through with the sophisticated aesthetic of the home, I am recommending a floating gallery box-type frame in a black glossy finish which is understated but luxurious, and will finish the artwork to perfection. There will be no glass in front of the painting, and the overall look is minimal.

THE ARTIST
'Her layered way of building up the works result in highly textured surfaces. Rich in pentimento, the artist balances areas of density with transparency. The effect in some paintings is almost opalescent, like looking through a crystal and catching flashes of submerged colours and shapes.'
Essay by Marguerite Brown MAArtCur 2016
'Deeply in tune with the landscape, Rannersberg's works evoke the moody windswept landscapes of Bruny Island. Varying greatly each is a testament to the artist's honest response to her setting, with the tonal works emotively reflecting the different weather patterns and atmospheres of the day'.
Caroline Rannersberger, Sentiment and Sedimentation, By Lucy Stranger, March 8, 2016.
Rannersberger's work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT), and Artbank. She obtained a PHD in Visual Arts from Charles Darwin University (2010), and in the past 5 years she has been a finalist in numerous Art awards and prizes. These paintings are part of a series Illuminous, being exhibited at Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne from 19th July 2016 - 6th August 2016.
