Artwork In Its Natural Environment

Erik Nov 17, 2008 — 51 comments

The overall effect of a piece of art can be greatly enhanced by its surroundings. Paintings, and to an even greater extent drawings, usually look much much better framed, hanging in a place of prominence in a room. I usually hang things to dry in my studio area, where they’re all sort of jumbled together, and not allowed to live in their own space, which dampens the impact of each individual piece. Once you see them hung in a way that allows them to breathe and command attention without competition, they become much more effective.

These photos show a few of the pieces that I have sold, hanging in their current positions of adulation. Having this website is great, I can easily and quickly show a painting to anyone anywhere. But seeing a small digital image is a lame substitute for actually seeing something in person.

Be sure to note that the rooms in which these pieces are hung seem strangely impressive, bigger than most, almost awe inspiring. It’s clear that the person who owns the painting, the person that chose it from amongst the masses and hung it here, is a great human being, that they are doing something important for this planet, something bold, praxis embodied. Wouldn’t you like your room to have that same effect? Contact erikebelingart.com, I have just the painting for you.

Ok I’m kidding about the last one. That’s a picture I took of Albert Bierstadt’s Among the Sierra Nevada, California, 1868, in the American Art Gallery in Washington DC. It’s a famous painting, and rightly so, it’s incredible to see in person, but probably only because of the frame/environment. Or something like that.
