How to achieve a gallery hang
THE ART OF HANGING ART
Each work in your collector says something about your personality so express this by hanging them together. This is a great way to create essentially a larger artwork by clustering various sized works together. This can be applied to smaller works in a smaller space also.
Step 1 - Find a common thread
It may be the subject matter, colour or the type of framing that aesthetically brings the gallery hang together. Choose a hero or the largest artworks and work around them. Here we’ve linked this gallery wall together by the colour palette and a grid formation.
Step 2 - Plan it out
By laying the artworks on the floor or by scaling them proportionately on a computer you can move them around until you’re happy. Consider the balance and composition. Are you going with a grid formation? Can you make some artworks line up to create symmetry?
Step 3 - Start hanging
As they say “measure twice and hammer once”. Take your time to get it right and if something isn’t working, spend the time to move it, rather than it frustrate you later. A bit of putty filler and a spot of paint isn’t going to be the end of the world.
HELPFUL TIP - Making a bold statement
Gallery hangs are an easy way for art lovers starting their collection, as it offers maximum impact on a lower budget. It’s perfect for hallways or spaces that are in need of some energy and personality. Small works invite the viewer to view close up. This gallery hang mixes bold, colourful artworks together with humor, playfulness and tactility.
