WHY DO WE NEED ART?

With art, you can “dress” your walls and enhance your home’s overall aesthetic appeal, and curate a collection of pieces to enjoy and appreicate daily.

Artist Brigétte Baskerville believes that other than adding aesthetic value and interest, art also awakens the senses. “Art is a language of expression in which we find connections, interconnected meanings, and values. It evokes feelings, thoughts, dreams, and perhaps some interesting discussions when guests visit.”

Eric Botha, director of Living Artists Emporium, says art can create the illusion of space and complement a room’s setting. “Art in the home can tell a story or evoke a memory transcending the visual aspect of the piece with different layers of symbolic or personal contextual meanings for the viewer.”
