Worlds That Don't Quite Exist

Why fantasy art

Fantasy art is mostly dark canvas, and dark canvas needs room to breathe

These pieces carry deep, saturated backgrounds, which changes how big they need to be and where they can safely hang.

Dark artwork behaves differently on a wall. A pale landscape can sit small and still read; a night sky or a shadowed forest shrinks visually and starts looking like a hole in the plaster. Go one size up from what feels right. On a white or light grey wall the contrast does the work for you. On a feature wall in navy or charcoal, the piece needs to be large enough that the glow inside it is unmistakable.

Hang fantasy canvases where the light is warm and low rather than under a downlight, which flattens the glow these works depend on. Centre at 145cm to the middle of the image. For a sofa, take roughly two thirds of its width. Keep the surrounding palette quiet, warm neutrals, timber, black metal, so the violets and golds stay the loudest thing. Avoid hanging two heavily detailed fantasy scenes side by side; pair one busy piece with one simple moon or sky instead.
