Marshall Arts

You walk into a room, see a painting, and feel it in your chest. You don’t know why—you just do. Maybe the colors speak to you. Maybe it reminds you of something you can’t quite name. Maybe you just can’t stop looking. And then someone asks:“What do you like about it?” That question can make even seasoned collectors freeze up. You might feel pressure to explain the artist’s technique, or say something impressive about composition, or throw in an art historical reference.

When most people think about displaying art, they think: find a blank wall, grab a hammer and a nail, hang it up. But abstract art invites us to break the rules. It’s bold, playful, emotional—so why not have a little fun with how we show it off? If you’re looking for creative, non-traditional ways to display your art collection, especially abstract pieces, here are some ideas to help you think beyond the standard frame-on-a-wall routine.

Abstract art is all about energy, emotion, and personal interpretation. Since the early 1900s, artists have pushed boundaries.

When decorating a room, nothing commands attention quite like a bold statement painting.

Love art but not ready to spend thousands on original paintings? Art prints are an affordable way to start collecting.

Abstract art has the power to transform a space, but many people hesitate to invest in a piece because they’re unsure about colors.

When people hear "art collecting," they often picture wealthy buyers dropping thousands (or millions) at auctions.

Transforming your living space with art can feel daunting, especially if you worry about costs.
