Sorry, what is cancas art?

My problem is that google and Pinterest don’t help me. I see stuff I like but no clue where you buy it. I typically only find $10k stuff, lower priced, I’m clueless. I dont see to ding good stuff on wayfair like others do

"canvas" Art comes in all sizes. So can wall sculptures,rugs,wallpaper,kimono in shadow boxes, architectural remnants, posters, and all sorts of installations.

Textiles--rugs, tapestries, saris, quilts, macrame, etc.

Dimensional wall sculptures,

Objects--paddles, jerseys, automobile grills, old windows, etc.

But I don't understand the concept of "too large for framed art."

I understand this. Large walls usually need large art. And today's trend is large canvases or prints. I think some people are becoming tired of large flat meaningless "art" to provide color and fill a space. The advantage is that the price is not prohibitive, so it can be changed when you've becomed tired of seeing it. Trends come and go. Wallpaper is making a resurgence. Metal, fabric, organic objects, etc. are availble.

Then don't buy "meaningless" anything! Buy something that speaks to you!

Too large for framed art is a strange idea to me. Where on earth did you get the idea that you should avoid framed art?

To me, behind the sofa could go your liked art in a frame. Let that area be dressier, and 'serious'.

It's not "canvas art". They are called paintings!

Feel like posting my furniture thought / to find out about the rest of your house. It might clog up the entry even at 17" deep.

What about art above an entry table?

When I say too large for framed art- I mean Ive never seen 6 foot framed art- probably bc it would be to heavy. That canvas above our couch is 6 ft. Thank you for everyones feedback

You can find large framed artwork if you look for it. But it will be far more expensive than unframed canvas.

I LOVE this for another room but feel I need optionsother than canvas. This is an older picture I photoshoppe, I don’t still have Halloween up :). Another example of my enormous walls- this canvas is 72 inches.

Well, you've been given some excellent ideas in sculpture and textiles. Think outside the box and think large scale. As noted above, this typically translates into far greater cost, but IMO it's so worth it for the artistic statement you make in your home.

Also, "canvas art" doesn't always mean paintings. Other media is transferable to canvas as well.

We havedone photos, collections and movie posters in other rooms

Love those! My problem is finding the actual items once I find inspiration, maybe I’m challanded but I find great “ideas” but only junk for sale

I personally like laser cut metal wall art. Here is the "Tree Of Life" laser cut out of Corten rusting steel.

I like that as well and I am looking for some dimensional above my couch other than the cliche tobacco basket.

Call me lame but you wouldn’t have a link for that, would you?

Where are you looking for your ideas? There might be sources of affordable art you haven't explored yet. What about young local artists? Perhaps you can commission something? Framing can get expensive. I've framed inexpensive prints and the frame always cost me more than the print.

Your b&w pictures, movie posters and sport collection look great, btw.

ETA: Not sure if this ELLE slideshow would be helpful. (I wasn't familiar with plaster paneling. Cool idea.)

Yes I would!

If you can not find this piece, we can always custom design and laser cut a unique piece for you. Thank you!

I think you are sick of "fake art" and are wanting something with more depth. I would actually look into finding some great artists that you love and want to support. Plus, when you have actual pieces of art on your wall you need negative space around it to really showcase it.

Here are some to check out...

Alexa Rae Studio

Thai Mainhard

Lisa Golightly

Mercedes Tabish

(She even does custom portraits, which can be done for each of your family members. Plus, she's really affordable)

Hope this helps!

Honestly,I don't think "art" will solve your issues with your large walls. Color or wallpaper might help. But you would need to work through the spaces, the multiple spaces, and see them as a whole to get there.
