THE ARTWORK
In close consultation with
my clients, we have chosen this beautiful artwork for the main living room wall
of the contemporary renovation of their recently purchased beachside holiday
home on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula.

THE PROJECT DETAILS
The home reflects a more
relaxed version of their urban home – focusing on a combination of appropriate
colours for the location – blues, greens, whites and greys.
Think lovely Jardan

Driftwood:
Beautiful beaches:
THE CONSIDERATIONS
The clients wanted this art piece to blend well with the surrounding furniture and colour scheme, rather than dominate.
It was therefore a natural progression that an art piece
that reflected both water and wind was selected.
THE SCALE
Artwork to scale in-situ on 3.7m gallery wall.
THE ELEVATION
Diagram perspective of actual living room situation.
THE FRAMING
In order to best suit the contemporary style of the home and painting alike, I am recommending a floating gallery box type frame in a natural timber (oak) which is understated, but finishes the artwork perfectly. This means that there will be no glass in front of the painting, and provides an overall minimal look.
Framing Images
PROTECTION
As a result of this, I am recommending that the windows in this room are treated with a UV protective film to reduce any possibility of fading from the sun, and the use of light-filtering day-blinds/sheers will also help with this situation.
THE ARTIST
This painting was from Elkholm's 2nd exhibition with Flinders Lane Gallery (FLG) in 2015 entitled 'Unfold'.

"In a way nature is always the starting point. It acts as a mirror on the soul; a reflex. In nature I find something that triggers a kind of personal state of mind."
Agneta Ekholm
Serene, vast, immersive - Agneta Ekholm's sensitively layered paintings evoke a myriad of emotional and cognitive responses. The organic compositions suggest movement or the play of light, glass-like formations or flowing water, through the fluid and gradual process of creation, and luxurious ebb and flow of paint, direct their ambiguity and abstractness. Seemingly delicate, the works exude a false fragility that only adds to their sensual elusiveness.
'Ekholm is taking us into the tidal stream of nature, to a site of restless creation. Observations of the natural world are central to the logic of these works. From the smooth surface of a rock, worn down by the erosive power of wind or wave, to the dancing light of the aurora borealis, the same elemental values, the same geometric principles, are present. This larger, organic design system can be witnessed within core of the artist's language, transformed into a series of human, painterly gestures.'
Phe Luxford, 2013.
Agneta's works are held in major public and private collections nationally and internationally, including Artbank, the Embassy of Finland (Australia), Sony Music Corporation, Google (USA) and the Rydges Hotel Group.
