Minimalist Artwork Ideas For Your Space
Not every space requires vibrant colours and detailed design, as the old saying goes - sometimes you can say more by saying less. With our vast and varied catalogue of original posters and art prints for sale, it can indeed be tempting to go all out colour (which of course, we love!) To curate a restrained, minimalist aesthetic however, is in many cases bolder and more striking.
Whether it’s a simple palette or even sticking to monochrome, our collections have countless works from original abstract designs to vintage luxury fashion posters to compliment a light, bright and modern setting equally to a moodier and ornate space.
Negative Space
Bally by Bernard Villemot nicknamed and known as "Pink Shoes", is immediately recognizable with its iconic design from the famed poster and graphic designer. With the central figure's curved outline and powerful contrasting coolers creating mystery through its minimalism. The vintage fashion poster piece exudes luxury and is in excellent condition, with museum-quality linen backing to ensure preservation and condition for years to come.
Continuing the dark and negative space theme, Waldemar Wiery, an award-winning artist, crafted a collection of "Jazz Greats" pieces that include the greatest Jazz musicians of all time. This beautiful original music poster depicts Ray Charles. He favored the pseudonym "Brother Ray" among his friends and fellow musicians, and he was also known as "The Genius." These two pieces showcase the minimalist use of colour, shape and space, allowing the viewers eye to imagine what is going on in the darkened areas of the scene.
Neutral Tones

A widely known poster from the 20th Century, Prêt à Porter was one of Razzia's first posters, which was used in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar magazines around the world. The Prêt à Porter fashion show was a big hit, and Razzia has been associated with poster design for high fashion ever since, including a long and successful collaboration with Louis Vuitton. “Paris" is written in metallic gold text on this poster, and it looks amazing framed. The neutral pallete, simple format and medium size of this original fashion poster make it perfect for a smaller space.
The artwork of Madelyn Bilsborough is full of simple shapes and neutral tones.
