9 GORGEOUS PIECES OF BLACK AND WHITE ARTWORK YOU NEED NOW
If you’re looking to bring some drama and modern edge to your space, black and white art may be the answer! Here are nine of my favorite pieces of black and white artwork that are bound to instantly elevate your room.
BOLD STROKES
Inspired by the works of Franz Kline, this piece will inject instant drama into your space. The soft gold frame creates an interesting and unexpected contrast with the subject matter (but it also comes in a black or silver frame).
If you’re looking for a large dramatic black and white artwork for your living room, or dining room, this piece can be a great choice. Bold strokes and beautiful, rich texture of this hand-painted piece will make you stop and pause every time you walk by!
This next piece isn’t technically black and white with its nuanced palette of creams and light taupes but it delivers the same level of impact – and the nuanced palette adds extra depth. It’s a personal favorite!
LARGE SCALE SKETCHES
There is something very impactful about oversized modern sketches, with their bold lines and minimalist palette. A perfect addition to ANY room – we even used one in a client’s kitchen for an unexpected dash of elegance!
Here is a different take on a large sketch, with much softer lines and nuanced background. An amazing choice if you have a large wall to fill but don’t want the art to be the central focus.
This piece works equally well when paired with traditional furniture to created that coveted juxtaposition of modern and trad.
OLD-WORLD HANDWRITING
Inspired by notes found in antique notebooks, this series features soft and organic lines reminiscent of cursive handwriting for a fresh and unexpected black and white artwork. These pieces work beautifully in both traditional and modern spaces!
LINE DRAWINGS
This series of black line drawings is a perfect choice if you’re looking for a piece that will inject a bit of playfulness into a space and won’t overpower the room. It works great in modern spaces but can also add an unexpected modern edge to a more traditional room.
These next continuous line drawings are very impactful with their black backgrounds but the lines are soft and gentle so they are a great choice if you want black and white artwork that creates a statement but is not overly dramatic.
