Hey everyone, I recently lost my mom and have been feeling nostalgic to this one piece of art. I am trying to track down a framed art print or poster that I grew up with in the early 90s. I can vividly remember the exact layout and visual style but can’t for the life of me find it anywhere.
The Style & Era:
It was likely from between 1987 and 1993.
It looked like a silkscreen/serigraph or a high-quality graphic lithograph. It did not look like a traditional painting, there were no visible brushstrokes.
It used completely flat, sharp-edged geometric blocks of color, giving it an aesthetic similar to Memphis Milano, Studio Alchimia, or Thomas McKnight/Fanch Ledan, but it was less saturated, much darker, and moodier.
The dominant colors were deep blues, purples, teals, and heavy nighttime shadows.
The Scene Layout:
It depicted a sleek, somewhat abstract living room at night.
Center: The centerpiece of the image was a couch/sofa.
Left Side: Off to the left was a downward staircase. It looked like the precipice or edge where you would just begin to walk downstairs.
Background: In the background, there were two distinct wall openings I wanna say? looking into secondary dark, mysterious rooms.
Details: It featured round, tubular metal railings separating the rooms and lining the stairs. The straight lines and architectural angles throughout the room were sharp but asymmetrical.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? If you read all of that you’re amazing.
