2. Outdoor Wall Art plays a similar purpose to indoor
paintings, sculptures, mosaics or photos. It is an
expression of your beliefs, your ideals, what you define
as beauty or enables you to convey an idea that can not
be explained through words. Your art can be from a
specific artist that you admire, an unknown artist who
captured your attention or just a nice object that
compliments a space that you found empty or
unappealing.
3. Outdoor Wall Art Personalizes Your Space
Gardens could be interpreted as environmental art, and fall
under the umbrella of outdoor art, but when it comes to
outdoor wall art, gardens fail to meet this specific
purpose. The walls that separate a porch from your
neighbor's drive way is not a barrier to retain your
privacy. It is an opportunity to fill a blank canvas with
interesting weather resistant objects that will be sure to
start a conversation.
When your walls are bare inside your house, the first thing
you do is cover them with art; meaningful photos, images
or sculptures. Your outdoor space needs the same
consideration. A bare wall is a bare wall and should be
viewed as an opportunity to put your imagination to work
with interesting sculptures, hanging iron pieces, or
murals.
4. Creating Conversation with Outdoor Wall
Art
Some of the most interesting outdoor wall art is derived from
recycled materials that have already seen the test of time.
Iron, aluminum, tree branches formed into an image,
mosaics of old ceramic tiles, are some examples of reused materials that have formed eye catching art work.
They are placed on a bare wall, amongst plants, and form
a background image that adds to the color and texture of
plants, outdoor furniture or a fountain.
5. Some of the outdoor art resembles symbols of the
outdoors, moons, suns. plants, birds and fish. For
the eclectic and innovative collector, indoor
images have been reflected in outdoor wall art.
One artist created a series of small dining room
chairs out of various materials and hung each one
on the wall of a long fence. With the contrast of
the gardens plants, this indoor theme created
great outdoor wall art and struck up many a
conversations at the owners garden parties.
6. Outdoor Wall Art has no limits and it is up to the owner
of the property to determine what they want their
guests to see and experience when they are in their
outdoor spaces. By including your garden walls and
privacy barriers as potential display mediums for
artwork, you can extend your design abilities to
include outdoor spaces.
