Here's proof that beautiful art isn't just for the atas
- Apr 11, 2017
The best way to dramatically change the mood and ambience of a room is to use art. Whether it’s clustering different images together to create a gallery wall or using a singular, large-scale painting to dominate a white space, it’s undeniable the impact of art in a home.

“Art is made to live in people’s minds and houses, not only in museums or wealthy people’s homes! Just like books, affordable art allows people to make discoveries.” - Amandine Urruty, one of the artists of the Ikea Art Event 2017 collection.We love how diverse the medium used and the inspirations behind the Art Event 2017 collection is, with the artists employing everything from graphite and pen and ink to crayon and charcoal. Here are five of our favourites from the collection.
1. Reflections On Deep Thoughts by Micha Payer and Martin Gabriel

2. Assembling Reality by Amit Greenberg

3. Shelfie by Jean Jullien
If you’re looking for something more tongue-in-cheek, this piece by French-born Jullien should be right up your alley. The poster is inspired by a quote from cult film Fight Club, “The things that we possess end up possessing us.” It’s also a playful reflection of the material times we live in.
4. Around A Table by Joanna Concejo

5. Matsuri by Yasuto Sasada

Matsuri is a reflection of its artist’s creative process. Beneath the amalgamation of imagery is a skull to represent the artist himself. Matsuri means festival or carnival in Japanese, but it can also be taken to mean “not as usual”. Here, the Japanese artist seeks to depict this very concept in his drawing.
The Art Event 2017 collection is available at all Ikea stores in Singapore from April 2017.
