The kitchen is where the day begins, conversations unfold and people naturally gather. If yours is a carefully considered space, the art you live with should feel every bit as personal as the materials, colours and objects you have chosen for it.
This collection brings together original art for the kitchen by contemporary South African artists. Each work has been selected for its ability to bring character to the room - whether through colour, texture, subject or a quiet detail that makes you pause as you pass.
Kitchen wall art need not depict food or follow a decorating theme. A still life can feel entirely at home, but so can an abstract painting, a small landscape or a sculptural work with an interesting surface. The best choice is one that adds something to the atmosphere and continues to hold your attention long after the room itself is finished.
A single original artwork can bring warmth to a breakfast nook, make use of the wall above a sideboard or turn an overlooked corner into a point of interest. In an open-plan home, it can also create a visual connection between the kitchen, dining and living areas.
When deciding where to hang art in a kitchen, choose a wall away from direct heat, steam and cooking splashes. This protects the artwork while allowing it to become part of the room in which so much of everyday life takes place.
