A Spectacular Display of Art; Boswall House
A Spectacular Display of Art; Boswall House
The Bespoke art collection for Boswall House (No. 2 Cornwall Terrace), displays a variety of British art both historical and contemporary, chosen from a collection of different Artists. The art, managed by Paula Lent, is developed by her huge passion and widespread legal and arts background to discover the artworks which complement interior designed schemes. The beautiful array of artwork situated all around the house is worth a look. The influential Modernist figures grounds the collection, incorporating a wall relief by definitive British artist Henry Moore (1898-1986). Moore’s versatility and pathos for the human figure would inspire generations of future sculptors including the movement studies of Dorothy Brook (b.1951).
The house also exhibits numerous paintings, all in which are affectionate towards a twenty-first century audience. Furthermore, the art is created with familiar and emotional localities. Portraiture and its many forms of communication are grounded in Joseph Wright of Derby’s (1734-1797) resplendent Portrait of a Lady of c.1760. The indomitable painting introduces the favoured female subject in the work of infamous celebrity photographer Terry O’Neill (b. 1938) and the increasingly renowned pixelated paintings of Kim Dong Yoo (b.1965). The politics of beauty and the artist’s contract with the viewer is strikingly addressed in the work of J. Park (b.1983). Aesthetic appeal, fragility and thus morality are investigated by Alexander James (b. 1967) with the subject matter of ethereal butterflies and flowers, while Marc Quinn’s (b.1964) floral canvas holds similar sumptuous allure.
