A Look At Modern Art Through Reclaimed Wood

By Claudine Hodges


Folk art has been a part of every culture since the beginning of time, and today is no different. People are recycling and reusing existing materials and making it into something new. Sometimes, it has to do with preserving the planet, but whatever it is, what comes out of these projects is often something absolutely beautiful. Below, discover a peek at modern art through reclaimed wood to have a better understanding of this new form of recycling.

It's best by understanding what this really is. The material itself comes either from very old barns that are being torn down, or from forests, in an effort to enable space for new growth. Certainly, trashing it in the past would've been the norm, but it has found a new life thanks to many who appreciate it. Now, it can be re-created into anything from artwork to usable furniture.

Find local, national, or international artists' works for sale in Chicago, IL. They can take on any form, as any onlooker would see. For example, it could be bunched up pieces of different colored wood, with the shapes assembled like a puzzle. On the other hand, the recycled wood can be directly painted upon, instead of using a canvas. Basically, all that is needed is that it piques someone's interest and that it looks stunning.

These pieces can be sculptures, or wall-mounted frames. They could take on any form that the artist wanted to display, and they look stunning in almost any design scheme. The artist may have assembled hundreds of pieces to create a beautiful table that is more artwork than furniture.

It is the artist who decides what new life this new peace is going to have. From there, it's up to the collector to see its beauty and choose it. For example, rather than an oil painting on a canvas, imagine three slabs of wood glued together, depicting the sand, the sea, and the sky. In this case, the wood itself has something special to offer to the artwork and any onlooker. When the artist and the material join, recycling can be incredible.

When the old and the new come together, a new found beauty is created. The fact that it is less formal seems to fit in with modern times, as well as any decor. What's more is that it will always be a unique piece, as this cannot be replicated.

So, in addition to being the right choice for the environment, such artwork can also be a fabulous investment. Plus, there is always a story to be told behind the scenes of the actual art, in where the reclaimed wood comes from, very often. The truth is, art is so much more interesting when there is a story attached to it.

It makes a great investment, either for you as a consumer, or to give as a gift. Anyway one looks at it, it will be appreciated for years to come. What's more is that depending on the artist, it can also greatly appreciate in value over time. These can easily be found at various craft fairs, but serious investors should look at the galleries in the city that can be loaded with some of the best collections.
