Art that matches your sofa

There was a discussion in [info]ursulav's journal, in which she quoted her mug, which states "Good art won't match your sofa...If you absolutely MUST have art that matches your sofa, I suggest you hang an identical sofa on the wall over it. This is called conceptual art, and lots of very cool people will suddenly find you irresistible."

Whilst I'm not going to go as far as hanging a sofa on the wall; drawing a picture of my sofa and hanging it on the wall above the sofa did strike me as a fun idea, so I'm going to go for it. I've bought a biggish (for me - 40x50cm) canvas to do the proper thing on, but have just done an A4 oil sketch tonight to get the basic idea).


"artist's impression" of the concept i.e. picture copied & pasted onto photo of sofa.



Closer look at my sofa oil sketch.

Pure genius. I may steal that idea if I may. I have a totally rad couch straight out of a french bordello!

Heh, that's pretty cool.

We bought a bunch of postcards of the Hundertwasser building, framed them and hung them in appropriate places (one of the bathroom sink above the sink, the toilet over the toilet, the stairs over the stairs, etc.)
