Scale is a very important element to consider when placing an art piece. Is it the right size for the room? Can it be seen and enjoyed fully? This aspect is always important to keep in mind, but it acquires a different dimension when art is being hung in corridors. The proportion of these spaces, their length, their transient nature, and the speed of movement they incite all act against the peaceful enjoyment of art.
When I designed this corridor, all of this came to mind. Yes, there was the intention of having art on that long wall so this room becomes more welcoming and homely, but a few aspects had to be considered so it works as beautifully as possible, keeping the right balance between the harmony demanded by the interior and respect toward the art and the client's appreciation of it. I needed to propose pieces that were not too big, and that could be read at a glance while, at the same time, having a level of depth so he could stop and contemplate them whenever he wanted; they are not decorative pieces. Their height is key, their quantity is key, the colour palette was important to consider, and the number of them had to be just right. I proposed two drawings by Patricio Boschi and a painting by Helge Jensen.
At Diego Correa Art Space, I can assist you not just in finding the right art piece but placing it correctly so it can be fully enjoyed.
