Everyone has their pet peeves, little things that don't register as annoying to the average person but drive one particular human being absolutely batty: too short pants guy, gum smacking woman, loud cell phone talking teen (well, that one buggers just about everyone).We all have them.
Here is one of mine: incorrectly scaled artwork. You can have the most magnificent painting, ceramic, sculpture, mixed media piece, whatever for a space, but if the size is not right, the piece is not right. The room will feel all wrong. In my job I work mostly in corporate settings. Think big walls, long hallways. I typically need large art pieces to fill these areas and do my best not to compromise where scale is concerned. I often tell my clients that I would rather hold off on obtaining a piece for a space if they cannot afford the correct size. I mean it.
As you can imagine, I loved turning the corner to enter Artist X's dining room area and glimpsing the following piece by his contemporary, the painter Eric Corrigan. The jumbo scale works splendidly!
Sleuth Clue: Eric Corrigan shows at the same Golden Triangle Denver gallery as Artist X.
