Inspiration
In this direction we see historical influences,
inspired by “The Golden Age”, visible in realistic
painted flowers on a dark ground and
in historic portraits. These portraits are often
traditional ones of about for instance animals,
but with a humorous twist. Also we see images
of the universe and galaxies. We see products
made of metallics, sometimes oxydized, such
as gold, copper, bronze, brass and silver. The
colours in this style direction are dark and
moody, but are combined with a few brighter
accents, like stars in the night. When there are
combinations with metallics we also see an interest
coming up for Art Deco influences from
the 1920-ies. Graphic black and white will be
continued, we will see graphic interpretations
with letters and quotes, or other applications
such as spots and stains, hazy images of landscapes.
Also fine defused lines. Sometimes
nature can be a source of inspirations such
as the tide, the weather, the moon, rocks and
marbled surfaces.
Colours
Here dark and moody colours prevail: they are
the background for more brilliant colours that
shine like stars in the night. As colours we see:
Deep Cyan, Deep Blue, Deep Peacock, Navy
Blue, Deep Fuchsia, Warm Brown, Dark Grey
and Black. Often the blues are used tone-in
tone, blues and greens are combined for an
interesting effect. Also Purple, from our High
Voltage range can be added, especially in combination
with Deep Fuchsia. Also Warm Red,
from our theme “Around the World” would fit
into this range of dark colours to evoke a nice
rich effect.
