Livable Art

Transform your drab walls into an artistic masterpiece. "Echo, Wow and Flutter; Sideways, Flopped and Mirrored," a piece by New York-based collagist Fred Tomaselli, is an example from the extremely well-received wallpaper collection from Maharam-- "Maharam Digital Projects," launched last year. Tomaselli, an avid collector, and devoted to scouring interesting newspapers and fashion magazines for snippets of inspiring illustrations, created "Echo, Wow and Flutter..." by encasing dried leaves and flowers, an assortment of pills and clippings of body parts under a layer of transparent resin and atop a background of paint. From a distance, we see splashes of color and spirals enveloping spirals, but like most art, if you take a closer look, you can see what lies beneath. With these progressive mediums and designs, Maharam's digital projects makes it possible for patrons of the design world to actually take the gallery back to their homes.
