Albums Out Today: Calvin Harris, Art Moore, Marci, ELIO, and More

In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on August 5, 2022:


Calvin Harris, Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2

Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2, the sequel to Calvin Harris’ 2017 collection Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, is out now via Columbia. The record features the promotional tracks ‘New Money’, ‘Stay With Me’, ‘Potion’, and ‘New to You’, as well as guest appearances from 21 Savage, Chlöe, Charlie Puth, Pusha T, Shenseea, Tinashe, Normani, Lil Durk, Halsey, Offset, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell, Swae Lee, Jorja Smith, Snoop Dogg, and more. “This album is for car journeys, and beaches and things like this,” Harris told Apple Music 1. “What I was doing a lot was taking trips to the mountains. This is when I still lived in LA. Taking a trip out to this place called Idyllwild in the car, listening to a lot of psychedelic rock and then climbing the mountain, literally, and figuratively, and then heading back.”


Art Moore, Art Moore

Art Moore – the project of Boy Scouts’ Taylor Vick and Ezra Furman collaborators Sam Durkes and Trevor Brooks – have today released their self-titled debut album via ANTI-.  Ahead of its arrival, the group previewed the LP with the songs ‘Sixish’‘Muscle Memory’, ‘Snowy’, and ‘A Different Life’. Discussing the process of making the album, Vick said in our Artist Spotlight interview: “From the start, I was always thinking of this project differently in my head, the way that I wanted to be a part of it. Sam and Trevor would already have these really fleshed-out demos with all of the instruments played, all the chords are there, to me there would be a clear chorus and a verse melody. My favourite part of writing music or anything to do with music is coming up with vocal melodies and vocal harmonies, so I was really excited at the idea of doing only that.”


Marci, Marci

Marci is the debut self-titled album by TOPS keyboardist Marta Cikojevic. Out now on Arbutus Records, the record includes the previously shared singles ‘Terminal’, ‘Entertainment’, ‘Immaterial Girl’, and ‘Pass Time’. It was produced by her TOPS bandmate David Carriere, with contributions from Mitch Davis, Rene Wilson, Austin Tufts (Braids) on drums, as well as Chloé Soldevila of Anemone, Better Person’s Adam Byczkowski, and TOPS’ Jane Penny on backup vocals. “I wanted to make people happy,” Cikojevic said of the record in press materials. “I wanted to make people feel like they could dance even when there was negativity.”


ELIO, ELIO’s INFERNO

ELIO, aka Charlotte Grace Victori, has dropped a new mixtape called ELIO’s INFERNO. It was previewed by a stream of singles, including ‘Read the Room’, ‘Superimpose’, ‘Vitamins’‘Typecast’, and ‘I LUV MY BRAIN!’. The Toronto pop artist worked with producer Mike Wise (Charli XCX, Alessia Cara) as well as longtime collaborators Emily Persich, Nick Mete, Rich Weller, Mickey Brandolino, and Mathijs Kriebel on the record. “This project was about having fun and experimenting with my sound, trying to create my version of a great pop song in all its different forms,” ELIO told The Line of Best Fit. ΕLIO’s INFERNO follows her 2020 EP u and me but mostly me and 2021’s Can You Hear Me Now EP.


Mall Grab, What I Breathe

Mall Grab, the alias of Australian-born, London-based producer Jordon Alexander, has put out his debut album, What I Breathe, via Looking for Trouble. The 13-track LP features guest spots from Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Novelist, D Double E, and Nia Archives.”There are a lot of familiar sounds on this album that my listeners and followers have become accustomed to and joined me in the deep dive,” Alexander said in a press release. “Elements of emotional but hard and pumping club music are intertwined with House, Jungle, Rave and Grime. My adopted home city of London has been a huge inspiration to how my music has evolved and progressed, and on What I Breathe I wanted to create a body of work which not only had something for everyone who has been with me the past 6 years, but also those who aren’t yet aware of what I’m about or the music I make.”


Belief, Belief

Belief, the experimental dance music project of Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa and Los Angeles producer Boom Bip, have issued their eponymous debut album. Out now via Lex Records, the record follows the duo’s debut EP Versions and includes the previously released singles ‘WOT’, ‘Art of Love’, ‘Jung’, ‘I Want To Be’, and ‘Ulu’. The songs on Belief are culled from hours of improvised sessions that began in 2016 at Eric Wareheim’s Absolutely Studios – with “What Would Mark Bell Do?” as the single prompt, according to press materials – with the pair spending the next five years arranging the material.

Drake and Lil Baby Join DJ Khaled on New Song ‘Staying Alive’

DJ Khaled has shared a new single, ‘Staying Alive’, which features Drake and Lil Baby. It’s the first preview of Khaled’s forthcoming record God Did, which arrives August 26 via We the Best Music Group/Epic Records. The song interpolates the Bee Gees hit of the same name. Listen to it below.

Back in 2020, DJ Khaled and Drake teamed up on the songs ‘POPSTAR’ and ‘GREECE’. Khaled has also collaborated with Lil Baby on a number of tracks, including 2021’s ‘BODY IN MOTION’ and ‘I DID IT’.

The Killers Share New Single ‘boy’

The Killers are back with a new song, ‘boy’. The track, which the band debuted last month at Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, was produced by the Killers, Stuart Price, and Shawn Everett. Check it out below.

“This was the first song written after we had to cancel the Imploding the Mirage tour due to the pandemic,” Brandon Flowers said in a statement. “I had recently moved back to Utah and started to make trips to Nephi, where I grew up. I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn’t stop returning to. I have a son approaching the age I was at that time in my life. With ‘boy’, I want to reach out and tell myself – and my sons – to not overthink it. And to look for the ‘white arrows’ in their lives. For me now, white arrows are my wife, children, my songs and the stage.”

Last year, the Killers followed up Imploding the Mirage with a new record, Pressure Machine.

Carly Rae Jepsen Releases New Song ‘Beach House’

Carly Rae Jepsen has released a new song called ‘Beach House’. It’s the second single from her upcoming album, The Loneliest Time, which is out October 21 and includes the previously shared song ‘Western Wind’. Jepsen, Alex Hope, and Nate Cyphert co-wrote the track, which was produced by Hope. Check it out below.

The Loneliest Time, the follow-up to 2019’s Dedicated, is out October 21.

Artist Spotlight: Tomato Flower

Tomato Flower is the Baltimore-based experimental pop outfit composed of Austyn Wohlers, Jamison Murphy, Mike Alfieri, and Ruby Mars. Although they each share different musical interests, their collaboration prioritizes the sort of artistic synthesis that’s hard to resist, a blend of free-flowing experimentation and pop hookiness that often takes years to master. With just one EP under the belt, and a second one arriving tomorrow, Tomato Flower have managed to hit the sweet spot pretty early on: the songs on February’s Gold Arc and Construction came together between 2019 and 2021 and showcase a band that’s not just versatile and playful in their approach to sound, but also intensely rigorous and emotionally expressive when it comes to shaping it into something memorable. The group – which is about to go on tour with Animal Collective – is now focused on completing their first LP; these two collections, with their expansive, idiosyncratic soundscapes and joyously imaginative world-building, are proof they’re already dreaming big.

We caught up with Tomato Flower for this edition of our Artist Spotlight interview series to talk about the origins of the project, the process behind their two EPs, and more.


Could you talk about how the four of you met and what your first impressions of each other were?

Austyn Wohlers: Jamison and Ruby and I all met at this summer camp in Georgia, an academic type of summer camp. We were all studying English, and we’re audio engineering minors. I think we were the only three people with that combination of studies. Jamison and Ruby can probably speak more to their friendship, because they actually hit it off at this camp where I was sort of in a different circle. But like I knew of them, and I thought they were very cool. I remember talking to Jamison about literature very early on. Ruby and Jamison would play music on the lawn, and I read this piece for this gonzo journalism class lightly poking fun at people who played music on the lawn.

Ruby Mars: It was a hit piece.

AW: Yeah, totally. And I remember we were in a critique for it, me and Jamison, and Jamison told me to get over myself. [Jamison laughs] So, honestly, we had a moment of friction early. And I didn’t realize actually that it had been him until later because it was his handwriting. Then I went to undergrad and Jamison was a year above me, and we played music together all through college. And my senior year, we started a band called Paradise Montage with me, Jamison, and Ruby, played in that for about a year until Jamison and I moved to Baltimore. And then Jamison and I moved to Baltimore with the partial intention of forming Tomato Flower. We were working on some of the first songs which are on both Construction and Gold Arc, and we played a couple of shows just the two of us.

I actually met Mike while volunteering at an experimental music festival called High Zero. And that was also a funny situation where we were just sitting next to each other, we were both ushering, I think. And Mike was like, “Do you play music,” blah, blah, blah. And I was like, “Yeah, I have an experimental band, we’re looking for a drummer.” And Mike was like, “I’m a drummer!” Mike saw one of Jamison and I’s shows, just with a little drum machine, and he was like, “I wanna play together.” So we played for a minute as a three-piece, recorded both of these EPs, and we kept playing without a bassist. And Jamison and I were both like, “We really want Ruby to be the bassist.” So we sort of gradually convinced Ruby to move up. We kind of yanked our bassist up from Atlanta, and then we got together.

Jamison and Ruby, how do you remember that time?

Jamison Murphy: Very fondly.

RM: It was a fast friendship.

Did joining the band feel very sudden to you, or did it feel natural from the moment you first played together?

RM: It did feel pretty natural because I’ve always felt so connected and tuned in to the music that Austyn and Jamison have been making for a long time. Hearing the songs that they had recorded with Mike and coming up to Baltimore to start to play bass with those songs, it did feel very natural. I remember hearing those songs, the ones that are in Gold Arc and Construction now, for the first time, walking around and being just so in love with them and excited about being part of that music.

Given that the songs were written around the same time, I was curious when the differences between them came to light, and how you went about separating them into two distinct collections.

JM: I would say around the time that we had concrete plans to release them, we figured that we’re doing them as two. There was not really a distinct principle of selection, I think it was more a question of gathering things that are somewhat closer in vibe and also preserving small-scale sequences between the two EPs that we knew worked. The real shape of them as EPs – just because we were so involved with each individual piece, crafting them before sequencing any of it – I only started hearing them that way later. I guess a general way to distinguish them, the songs in the second EP are generally a bit longer, it’s somewhat darker as a general vibe. But both EPs have their feet in both pop and experimental music, so it’s sort of just a question of where the vibes between the songs coalesce.

Did your collabroative process change at all depending on what vibe you leaned more towards for each song? 

AW: I would say all the songs have some element of being collaborative, but some of them come out more fully formed as demos than others. A really fun working process that we have is we’ll start with a kind of straightforward pop song and then try to break its legs or something, just to be like, “We’re gonna chop this here” or “This part needs to get more angular.” I think we sometimes refer to it as “making the song see the alien” or something, just to try to take something that feels very perfect and straightforward and see where we can make it warp.

I feel like both EPs revolve around the idea of a utopian world, but Construction seems to have a more human, abstract, and almost emotional approach to it. Was that something you wanted to collectively explore? 

JM: I would say the utopian part of the first EP, for me that sort of suite of the first four songs that we gathered together I think got that theme very succinctly. And we knew in sequencing it, those first four songs were a unit and would work very well that way. But I would say in this batch of songs that we were writing, there always were some songs that came from a slightly less heady, slightly more human place. I think there’s less of that unified theme, and more emotional or personally expressive – there’s more of that on the second one.

My favorite track on the EP is probably ‘Fancy’; I love how it evokes a very specific feeling despite being quite economical in both its musical and lyrical approach. Even the way you sing the word ‘Fancy’ is so close to “fantasy,” which kind of sums up part of what the songs are about. How did that one come together?

JM: That one started I think in 2016 when Austyn and I were in college. We were just playing that riff, we were listening to Duster and slowcore music and trying to play a riff like that. And we had that riff forever. I’ve tried to demo that riff at least 10 times. And winter 2020, we just had a day where we holed up and just tried to work on it. I started playing it in Drop D where I usually had played it in standard, so the fact that I had that open D sort of opened up this second chord voicing to it. Those lyrics of the verse were also there since 2016 and were for a long time contentless. But when we were trying to write the rest of it, it sort of took on this other meaning of – basically, we hadn’t released any music at that time, and I think we were in a state of frustration. It became about both desire for success and a certain kind of bitterness toward it, this balance between wanting to shove away things that you don’t have, but also desiring them.

AW: I remember the chorus to that one came so quickly, which was nice, because there’s some other songs that I felt we had to really hammer it out.

What do you each associate with the colour blue? What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

AW: Definitely the ocean, especially on that song.

Mike Alfieri: I think of it just in general as a mood, like the blues or A Kind of Blue, where it’s not particularly sadness but changes in emotions. That’s kind of where I’m coming from approaching a lot of this music, with the blues and the idea of the blues. That’s blue to me.

AW: I love how you’re such a jazz head that the phrase A Kind of Blue just slipped out of you.

RM: Well, I think of the song ‘Blue’ by Eiffel 65. [Jamison laughs] And I think of the music video where it’s like, I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but it must have cost like $10 million. It’s all these blue dudes in the crowd and they’re going like this [dances].

MA: Isn’t it like a CGI video?

RM: Yeah, it’s a CGI video. So I think of little blue aliens going like this.

I love that you went from Miles Davis to Eiffel 65.

RM: The whole gamut.

Around the time of your first EP, you said that you have this sound in your head that doesn’t exist yet. Do you feel like you’re getting closer to understanding what it is?

JM: I would say when we were forming this band and planning out how it would sound, a lot of that was realized in the two EPs. It’s shaping up differently now, just because there’s publicly accessible music that is some version of that. To a certain degree, in writing the new music, there’s like a template or at least a reference point that this sounds like Tomato Flower, and we’ll say that when we’re working on songs. We couldn’t say that before, it would be more abstract. But at the same time, I think the actual moment-to-moment experience of playing is, if anything, freer and more generative than in the past. Also simply because we’re more comfortable with each other. In the past couple of days, Ruby and I were playing and Mike and I were playing, and it feels, actually, kind of unstoppably generative right now. And that’s coming into it with really no preconceptions. Part of it’s planned, we’ll have ideas of what we want the next thing to sound like, but I would say the real work of it comes in just playing.

AW: But also, I do think that our vision for it changed as we continued making stuff. I remember when we started, we wanted it to be very clean, spare guitars and subtle drums, and there was a kind of minimalism, I think, that Jamison and I were interested in, especially writing the first five songs for the band that we wrote. But then we were mixing them and we were like, “Should we turn up the cello?” We couldn’t escape the parts of us that are interested in a kind of lushness. And I do think that’s for the better. There was a certain textural element that we thought we wanted to stick to at the beginning, but we just love strings too much.

JM: Yeah, I didn’t own a distortion pedal when we wrote the first song.

Mike and Ruby, has it felt similarly free to you in the past few days?

MA: I feel like even though there is now a template and a form for how we want to sound and our approach and our concepts, we’re really always excavating and figuring out new ideas. And then those new ideas spurring new ideas, and we’re sourcing from different places all the time. So in that sense, it’s always free. There really is no limit to what we could do. It’s just how we refine these ideas that we have and make them fit into our sound. Now especially, writing an album, I think we have a better focus. I feel like the first five songs were written already, and then then we got to write more and write more. We really didn’t have an end in mind. We’re writing for the sake of writing, because we really wanted to and were passionate about doing it. So now we have that passion and it’s amplified, but we have a cohesive end point in mind now, so I think that’s really helping the way we’re writing. I think we’re really coming up with some amazing stuff, if I can say that. All the factors in our process are really pushing us to write some really good music.

RM: Yeah, it’s just feeling good. It’s just joy.

Can you each share one thing about everyone else in the group that inspires you? 

MA: These people are my great friends and amazing collaborators. I think every part of them is inspiring, what they’re doing musically and what they’re doing outside of music in their personal lives and other professional lives. It’s just an amazing group to be a part of. We’ve all played in different scenarios and played in different bands, and for me, I feel like I’m not freelancing anymore, being a drummer. I finally found a group that is expressive and honest and personal, and we’re all allowing that to happen for each other. And that feels wonderful. Everybody’s allowed to be themselves and bring their best to the music. That pushes me, I just want to go do better work all the time. And it’s fun. It’s all fun.

JM: Aww. That’s really sweet.

AW: I find everyone else in the band to be sort of voracious about making sure that art is prime in our lives. For example, Jamison and Ruby and I live together and we have a kind of unspoken “music always first” rule. We have a piano in the living room, we have our drum set in the basement. There’s constantly music playing at all hours of the day, even 15 minutes before you have to go to work or something like this. I just feel really lucky to be able to make music with people who are so uncompromising and voracious, in terms of influence, too; none of us are pigeonholed in style. Sometimes we’ll be talking about – this is the example I’m always using these days, but the Jesus Lizard and Aqua in the same breath. There’s sort of an infinite openness that I think all of us have to trying things and bringing things in.

JM: I’m inspired for each of the bandmates with – related to Austyn’s thing about voraciousness, but openness to learning. I find that specifically inspiring because, talking with any of the three bandmates, it always makes me want to go out and learn something, whatever they’re getting their hands into.

RM: Same with Austyn, I appreciate having a group of people where art is the number one priority. It feels like we’re all on the same spiritual train car, and we’re going really quickly.

These are the best hobbies you can try online

0

When was the last time you spent an evening enjoying a new hobby, without linking it to a side hustle or your day job? It’s time to spend time treating ourselves to a bit of lighthearted relief!

With the internet at our fingertips, anything is possible. Yet, we often forget how much information is available on the internet. From exciting games to valuable skills, thousands of hobbies are there for you to try.

Are you ready to get started? In this article, we’re exploring the ultimate online hobbies that you can start right now. Make sure you carve out some time to experiment with these topics.

iGaming

Are you a proficient gamer? If so, iGaming might be the next hobby for you. Unlike traditional gaming, iGaming is focused on odds and chance, which adds an extra exciting element. These games have come a long way in the last few years, and players enjoy premium graphics and a smooth user experience.

Popular options for iGamers include slots, classic casino games and live casino games. Make sure you sign up with the highest payout online casino to receive a high-quality playing experience. Whether you want to take on the dealer or spin the wheel, there’s a selection for all tastes.

Improve your language skills

What’s your mother tongue? Can you speak more than one language? Learning a new language is a pipe dream for many of us, but it’s hard to find the time to learn a second language. There’s never a spare hour to study, between meetings, work and family life.

However, thanks to online websites and apps, it’s easier than ever to start the process. You can even chat with native speakers online, thanks to websites such as italki – perfect if you want to practise your conversation skills. Make sure you top up your vocabulary before your next holiday.

Practice mindfulness

Do you remember the last time you were still for a moment? Not on your commute or while working, but a moment where you put all your troubles to one side? If not, mindfulness could be a useful hobby for you.

Many mindfulness blogs have appeared in the last few years. These websites are dedicated to improving people’s relationships with mental health and meditation. If you feel anxious or overwhelmed, try meditation as a hobby.

Pick up some graphics tips

Think you have what it takes to be a pro editor? Try an online graphic design or photo editing course! These are run by professional designers and are here to help you master the art of digital photo retouching.

However, you don’t have to enrol in a class! If you want to learn on your own schedule, there are many YouTube videos that talk you through the basic step-by-step instructions. Just make sure you have Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator downloaded first.

Start coding

Another popular online hobby is coding. Though many coders make a living from this activity, you can also start to learn for fun. Like graphic design, various online courses can walk you through the process step by step – and many are free!

Alternatively, there’s a wealth of coding tutorials on YouTube and on niche blogs. Whichever method you take, remember to go slow and take your time. It’ll be worth it!

Learn an instrument

If you’re an artistic soul, you might want to dip your toes into the musical world. The world of online music tutorials is vast. Lessons appear on YouTube and blog posts, and some websites can match you up with direct partners for personal classes. It goes without saying – you will need to own an instrument before starting this hobby.

However, you don’t need to go out and buy an instrument to become a musician. Many vocal lessons are available for budding singers, or you can learn to read and write sheet music too. The music world is diverse and waiting to be discovered!

Online workouts

Finally, did you know you can get fit while on the internet? This might sound odd, but some of the world’s top personal trainers offer free online workouts for home usage.

Getting active at home is a great way to stay fit and enjoy yourself. Online workouts are popular for those who want to get involved without being in a busy gym. Privacy and expertise in one place!

The takeaway

So, which hobbies will you be trying? Will you be the next best iGamer, or are you ready to take it slow with a spot of mindfulness? Good luck, and have fun on your internet hobby journey.

Awesome Art Pieces to Add to Your House Collection

If you love collecting art pieces, you’re definitely not alone. They’re a great way to add personality and character to your home, and there are tons of different materials, styles, and examples to choose from. They range from NASA photos of the first men on the moon to impressionists like Van Gogh and Monet. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the most awesome art pieces that you can add to your house collection.

Canvas Art

This is a type of art that’s created using canvas as the support medium. It can be a painting or a photograph, and it’s usually hung on walls or displayed on shelves. There are many different styles of canvas art, from abstract to realistic. Four major examples include:

  • “The Scream” by Edvard Munch
  • “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh
  • “Nighthawks” by Edward Hopper
  • “American Gothic” by Grant Wood

You’ll need to decide how much space you have available, and choose a piece that’ll suit the existing colors in the room. Canvas art can be very expensive, so you’ll need to set a budget before you start shopping. You’ll find that outdoor canvas art adds a great finishing touch to people’s backyards, perfectly complimenting their outdoor furniture or rugs. You can buy from featured collections such as beach and ocean, landscapes, wildlife, flowers, buildings, and structures, etc.

Clay Art

Functional clay art includes items such as pots and vases (which can be used to hold flowers or other plants) while decorative art includes sculptures and figurines. The Venus of Willendorf is a famous example of prehistoric sculpture, depicting a nude woman with large breasts, hips, and thighs. (We’ll take a closer look at sculptures in the next section).

Figurines are another type of decorative clay art. They’re small statues that usually depict people or animals. They’re often used as decorations or collectibles. Some well-known figurine brands include Precious Moments and Lladró.

Sculptures

Sculptures are three-dimensional artworks created by shaping or combining hard materials, typically stone such as marble, metal, glass, or wood. They’re often considered to be one of the highest forms of art. Here are five major examples:

  • “The Kiss” by Auguste Rodin
  • “Bird in Space” by Constantin Brancusi
  • “David” by Michelangelo
  • “The Thinker” by Auguste Rodin
  • “Mao Zedong Memorial Hall Bronze Statue” in Beijing, China

While many sculptures are designed for outdoor display, there is also a number suitable for indoor spaces. A large, heavy sculpture may need to be placed on a pedestal in order to be safely displayed. On the other hand, a smaller sculpture made of delicate materials may need to be placed in a glass case. You could opt for a modern or traditional piece, an abstract design, or a realistic figurine. Just make sure it’s something that you’ll enjoy looking at every day!

Photographic Art

Representational photographic art depicts scenes or objects in a way that’s recognizable to the viewer. Abstract photographic art, on the other hand, employs techniques such as extreme close-ups, unusual angles, and selective focus to create images that are less literal and more open to interpretation. All photographic art shares one commonality: the artist’s use of light and composition to create an arresting image. If you’re looking to add some photographic art to your collection, seek out pieces that showcase the artist’s skill in these two important areas.

Some famous examples of photographic art include Ansel Adams’ “Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico” and Edward Weston’s nudes. Some other artistic photographers to check out include:

  • Sarah Ann Loreth
  • Josefine Hoestermann
  • Ruby James
  • Carolyn Hampton
  • Olga Fler
  • Marta Syrko

Watercolor Art

Watercolors are usually made with pigments suspended in a water-based solution. The historical and most frequent support for watercolor paintings is paper. Other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum or leather, fabric, glass, and metal. Watercolor painting is often practiced in an outdoor setting in order to take advantage of the natural light and scenery.

Some famous watercolor artists include Charles Demuth, Paul Klee, Georgia O’Keeffe, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Elizabeth Murray, and Thomas Moran. Some famous watercolor paintings include:

  • Before the Snowfall (Bob Ross)
  • Lake Geneva (JMW Turner)
  • Young Hare (Albrecht Durer)
  • Cathedral of Llandaff (Paul Sandby)
  • In the Bighorn Mountains (Thomas Moran)
  • Brun (Tatiana Ivchenkova)

Modern Art

Modern art is a term used to describe the artworks produced in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism movements are all considered to be part of modern art history. Some famous examples of modern art include Claude Monet’s “Impression Sunrise”, Pablo Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” and Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain.”

If you’re interested in adding some modern art to your house collection, do your research first. Make sure you know about the different movements within modern art history and find examples that you personally connect with.

Religious Art

Religious art seeks to represent and evoke religious themes and ideas. It can be used in both public and private spaces, such as churches, temples, homes, or offices. Some famous examples include the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo, the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, and the Garden of Gethsemane by Rembrandt. While religious art can take many different forms, some common features include depictions of deities, sacred texts, saints, angels, or other religious figures. Icons are used for worship purposes in the Greek Orthodox Church

If you’re looking to add some religious art to your home collection, there are many different options available to you. You can choose art that depicts your own personal faith tradition, or select something that represents a more general concept of spirituality.

We’ve now discussed several types and expressions of art that you could add to your house collection. Why not check out some of the examples we’ve mentioned, or look for some new ones? They’ll bring a splash of color to your home (or backyard) and be a great conversation starter for your guests. As with any collection, once you’ve started you’ll be keen to add another art piece sometime soon.
