Art on Display @ Visitor Parking
Art On Display @ Visitor Parking
The most common usage of the word "art," which peaked into the English language sometime after 1750, is understood to denote skill used to produce an aesthetic result. Britannica Online defines it as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others."
The broadest sense of art is the one that has remained closest to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft," and also from an Indo-European root meaning "arrangement" or "to arrange". In this sense, art is whatever is described as having undergone a deliberate process of arrangement by an agent.
Visitor Parking showcases many arrangements of art throughout it's showroom, which is displayed as accent pieces to the modern furniture that is all over the store. Recently, Visitor Parking has selected some Celebrity Art canvas prints to add flare to the interior design of the store.

Mirror Mirror On The Brick Wall...
A mirror or looking glass is an object with at least one polished and therefore a specular reflective surface. The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror, which has a flat surface. Mirrors are commonly used for personal grooming (in which case the old-fashioned term "looking-glass" can be used), decoration, and architecture.
Mirrors, typically large and unframed, are frequently used in interior decoration to create an illusion of space, and amplify the apparent size of a room. Mirrors are used also in some schools of feng shui, an ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The softness of old mirrors is sometimes replicated by contemporary artisans for use in interior design. These reproduction antiqued mirrors are works of art and can bring color and texture to an otherwise hard, cold reflective surface. It is an artistic process that has been attempted by many and perfected by few.
Stop by the Visitor Parking showroom and check out the selection of mirrors on display.
