A painting does what no other object in a room can: it establishes a focal point, introduces color and texture simultaneously, and brings another consciousness — the artist’s — into the space. At Lulu and Georgia, the painting collection spans original works in oil, acrylic, gouache, and watercolor, alongside limited-edition fine art prints from the same artists. Work curated for visual quality and the kind of considered mark-making that holds up to daily living rather than fading into the background.
What paintings does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes original paintings in oil, acrylic, mixed media, and watercolor on canvas, linen, and board; limited-edition giclée and fine art prints reproduced from original paintings; and artist multiples in small editions. Subjects span abstract work, landscape and nature, figure and portrait, and purely expressive mark-making. Scale ranges from small to room-anchoring large-format pieces. Many artists have multiple works available for collecting across a body of work.
What size painting works for a living room focal wall?
For a sofa or focal wall, a painting should be roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. Above a standard 84-inch sofa, a painting 48–60 inches wide reads as well-proportioned. For a wall without furniture, a painting that fills approximately two-thirds of the wall width — leaving balanced negative space on each side — creates a strong focal point without crowding. For oversized walls, a grouping of two or three works can achieve the same visual weight as one large piece.
How do I choose between an original painting and a fine art print?
An original painting is a one-of-a-kind object — the physical surface carries the history of the artist’s process. A fine art giclée print reproduces the image faithfully at a fraction of the cost and is essentially identical visually from a viewing distance. For a prominent wall where you’ll look at the work daily, an original painting has a quality of presence a print cannot replicate. For rooms where budget is a consideration or you want multiple works, prints are an excellent choice — especially when the print edition is small and the print quality is high.
