    I have a fairly good mix in my home. A couple of Jack Vettriano prints, a soapstone sculpture from Nicaragua, a Tiffany lamp, a meditation statue - all people subjects... but we also like vintage/antique photography of things that are meaningful to us; old houses, relatives, spiritual places... I appreciate mordern art outside of my home, but I love impressionism, classics like Van Gogh, Monet, Seraut... I wish I knew more about it though.

    What a great question! I think it partially depends on the aesthetics of a building’s architecture for art to work in a space. Sometimes modern art can feel and look out of place in a very old building and on rare occasions it can work. Yet, older art can work in a very modern environment. In my own home, I prefer something modern and abstract and I would love to have a portrait by Julian Opie or a Chinese ancestor portrait. If I came across a landscape or seascape that I found stunning, I would not hesitate to purchase the paintings for my home.

    I don't really like either best because a lot of realistic art bores me and I don't understand/like a lot of abstract art. I just like things that catch the eye and make me think about the scene/object/whatever. I like unusual things, be it a lonely landscape or an abstract with bright colors and weird shapes.

    I really like surrealist art, H.R.Giger is an amazing artist in my opinion, and i like some of the work jessica galbreth does, i love to see art in architecture and also photography and computer editing done in such a way like autumn whitehurst does :)

    Both. Neither precludes the other.

    In our home we mainly have things on the walls that we have done. Some of it is realistic (especially my wife's beautiful portrait of John Lennon), some is non-representational. Some of our stuff is in between. We also have a few beautiful photographs we've taken, landscape painting my father painted, and a leather-work roadrunner (not the cartoon) my father made, some random small carved wood pieces, and a bunch of painted ceramics (mainly things painted by my wife). And we have a few other things like an Empire Strikes Back poster and some Beatles posters.
