'Interior experts reveal the home items they always splurge on'
Lauren Powell

Nov 13, 2018

'Dusty Pink' in situ, interior by Greg Natale.

”I’ve always been a big advocate of allocating some of your interior design money for art — and if you can push the budget that little bit further, I encourage my clients to collect at least one good oil painting for their collection — they contain so much depth. Art in the home can take on any number of roles. It can contrast, complement, draw a scheme together or make its own statement. My own home brings together sculpture, paintings, prints and mixed-media works. They each contribute character and a point of interest that I never get bored of.” Greg Natale, designer.

Thank you Greg Natale for your on going support of the arts.

Line and Weight

'In her seminal 1979 essay ‘Grids’, Rosalind Krauss writes that ‘logically speaking, the grid extends, in all directions, to infinity’. The grid within an artwork is therefore ‘a tiny piece arbitrarily cropped from an infinitely larger fabric’. The paintings in Line and Weight convey both this sense of the infinite spatial grid and, through the building up of layers, the infinite and repetitious nature of time. Washed over, painted across, re-written, line by line.' Anna Dunhill 2019.

Over the Edge

`The neglected zones of urban existence – alley ways, awnings, walls, gutters and shutters – occupy a unique place within the history of painting. Perhaps inadvertently, artists have been depicting such insignificant elements as cracked window ledges or the dark recesses of architraves since the time of Giotto. Ubiquitous, utilitarian and often worn down, the marginal nature of such sites and the phenomenological questions they raise has dominated Terri Brooks practice for the past two decades and continues to inform her work today.' Phe Luxford, 2011.
