hoosing art to complement a room is no easy task, and for some dedicated art collectors the ideal is to pick one piece of art, or a series of paintings, and create the room around it, rather than the traditional piecemeal way most of us approach to decorating a room.
Collector View
The work of Alex Echo is perfectly placed for this kind of approach, and while being easy on the eye to the passing viewer, his work offers up new interpretations the longer you live with them. The new ‘ Water ’
Emma& JohnKnott Bath, UK John and I first sawAlex’s work shortly after the Paul Smith show and knew immediately it was amust have for our collection. We bought a large piece initially and then some smaller pieces over time. We first met Alex at the Bath gallery andwatched himpaint live. If we hadn’t been blown away before we certainlywould have been then. I have had the great honour of meeting Alex on a number of occasions since, andwhilewe continue to collect more of his work, I have realised that Alex Echo is larger than life (or maybemore than you can realise simply fromhis work), aman as colourful as his art, with depth, insight and awonderful perspective on life, the universe and his place in it. He is a true artist in every sense of theword.
collection, which references Monet
and Turner in a loose Impressionist style, is made up of 75 striking images focusing on the power and beauty of water. Stand out prints include ‘ Waterfall 7, 21 & 42 ,’ employing bright blue hues which will provide a dramatic central focus for a hallway, kitchen or dining area. The calm and cool yellow ‘ Reflections of Willow on Thames ’ provides a
tranquil backdrop, creating a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for bedrooms, while the bold ‘ In the Tide Pool ’ offers an energetic, almost psychedelic effect, which would add a pop of vibrant colour to a living room. ‘ Deep Calm Tide ’ and ‘ Raindrops ’ offer a cooler, quieter and more reflective style and colour theme which would work effectively in a bedroom or bathroom setting. »
