Picture Source To Debut New Division At High Point Show

Furniture World Magazine

Picture Source announced that it is set to launch a new division of contemporary wall art which will include a selection of exclusive originals designed specifically for the division. Known as “The Art Club,” the fresh, avant-garde line of wall décor focuses on ultra modern designs and color palettes which will appeal to younger consumers. The launch will be held in The Art Club’s new showroom located at IHFC D423 during the upcoming High Point Market, October 20-26. The initial debut includes nearly 550 pieces and will consist of black and white photography, celebrity images, movie posters, graphic abstracts, contemporary landscapes, and florals. An array of modern and vintage themes provide many of the subjects within the collection’s core, and are displayed using clean, simple mattes and sleek frame options in black, silver, and dark woods. The words to describe the collection of original works, all of which are exclusive to The Art Club, are bold and bright—both graphically and color-wise. Vivid creations take their cues from exquisitely detailed handpainted stencils and wallpapers, all with rich, vibrant colors that seem to pop from the canvas. A full spectrum of themed black and white photography includes groupings of exotic vintage cars, motorbikes, and aircraft to high profile celebrities, wild animals, and soothingly serene portraits of flora and fauna. Popular movie prints can also be found, from classics such as “The Hustler” to current hit “Sex and the City.” Abstracts abound as well, utilizing colors, shapes, and genres to satisfy even the most selective art connoisseurs. John Hoyt, president of Picture Source, stated, “We created The Art Club division in response to an increased demand from our customers for a wider variety of contemporary pieces which not only fills a niche within the marketplace, but will attract a new generation of younger, art-savvy clientele.” Approximate retail prices will range from $150 - $500. The pieces will be available through major retail chains, boutiques, and lifestyle furniture stores beginning in early Spring 2009.
