SPOTLIGHT ON NEGATIVE SPACE: Artworks that use and create space with aplomb

SPOTLIGHT ON NEGATIVE SPACE, Artworks that use and create space with aplomb
Today’s Spotlight brings you a selection of incredible artworks that use negative space to influence composition to create striking powerful images. The use of ‘empty’ space in artwork has a long tradition in modern art. It can be cleverly used to highlight the focal point of an image, effect harmony, contrast, depth and to create artistic tension. Controlled use of space and a tempered hand can make objects float, landscapes vast and draw us into a sense of unity or permanence. The use of space guides the eye and when used well can direct a viewer’s emotional response to an artwork.

Today’s selection brings you highly balanced, pared back artworks that float amongst the drama and tension of the space around them. They use stillness and shape to create perspective, alter the luminesce of colour or influence mood and perception. We invite you to view our curated selection of artworks from our stockroom and are offering 10% discount on multiple purchases on toady’s Spotlight until September 30, 2023.
