BROMLEY

I have not spoken much about art on the blog but I have been eyeing off the amazing work of David Bromley for sometime now and thought it was time to share.

David Bromley is an Australian and British artist and is known for a mixture of different genres, but my favourite has to be the series of female portraits. What I love about them most is their intriguing nature and colour combinations. Their simplicity and minimalistic detail in the line work is also to be admired, as the art itself does not at all feel simplistic but gives you a very deep understanding of the persons body and shape. The femininity of the artworks are not over the top and are a perfect piece to create a huge impact in a room, which is what you always want art to do. It allows you to incorporate colour in a very simple way which is what good art should also do for your space. The curated tones of colour are also what give the artworks more depth, which has to be my favourite element.

I first discovered Bromley when working on a clients apartment and was taken a back by the scale and colour of the portrait. It was intimate and the perfect piece for you to be intrigued into how the space opens up into the master bedroom. It has recently been showcased on this season of The Block as the centre piece of a dining room. I have to say I personally really love abstract art however these portraits have caught my eye as unique and striking. I really want to find out more about the girl in all these nude portraits and I will get investigating. What do you think about his artwork? Do you like it?  Let me know by commenting below.

FEATURE FRIDAYS WITH FEATURE PIECES

I have been missing in action for the last couple of days with a horrible flu but I am back in action with our Feature Fridays.

Today I am introducing you to my lovely Friend and her Mum. Together they have created a unique and inspiring business.

Sally & Kerrie are Feature Pieces, a Interior Design and Homewares business that aims to assist clients in bringing colour into their homes. They achieve this through their unique and colourful cushions, wall hangings, lampshades and custom upholstered pieces that become a 'feature' in your home.

Feature Pieces at Warwick Fabric "Furniture in Focus" fair back in May.

It really is a brilliant idea as I often tell my clients that it is a good idea to have a feature element in a space such as a living room or bedroom. This is exactly what Sally & Kerrie believe themselves and are encouraging their clients to embrace. 

Based in Sydney, Sally is always constantly on the go, networking, working with The Designer Chicks and developing her business. They are always seeking out new colourful materials and suppliers that enable them to make their beautiful products.  

Part of the Feature Pieces range. 

It is very inspirational and encouraging for myself to see one of my friends and fellow Interior Designer follow her passion and dream. I have no doubt with the hard work and dedication Sally has to her passion, Feature Pieces will be a continued growing success. Just last week she was seen in the Northen District Times, a great article with a picture from behind the scenes at Feature Pieces. Click here to read more on the article. 

Feature Pieces, with Sally's Interior Design degree & Colour Diploma also aims to assist their clients in developing beautiful spaces, co-orindated colour schemes and floor coverings.

Sally & Kerrie can be found every 2nd Sunday at the Kirribilli Art & Design Markets. The next market is July 14th, so make sure you head down and get a glimps of some of their lovely pieces.
