Art Advisory from Concept to Construct

If you’re interested in starting or expanding your art collection, working with an Art Advisor is a great option. Sorelle's Art Advisors customize the experience to clients' needs, so that it's not only accessible and as easy as possible, but enjoyable as well. Learn more about what the Art Advisory process might look like - from digital renderings all the way to the completed installation. 

A Project from Digital Render to Installation

After an initial in-gallery art consultation, the client sent us an image of their space. From there, we digitally imposed Elementum Series by Roger Mudre, into the image of the wall in their living room.

While digital renders are hugely helpful, sometimes new decisions are made once the artwork is on-site. Once the client reviewed the rendering and approved that they'd like to see it installed in their home, our team of Art Advisors, along with interior designer, Gina Eastman Design and the client felt the golden nuances of the darker brown Terra painting in the series would be better observed closer to the grand window. After making the final decision, Marc Fattahi of New Canaan Frame & Art Gallery completed the installation. 

The Completed Installation

Getting started...

Often times, clients browse Sorelle’s website and find themselves drawn to a particular artist or piece – seeing the artwork on our site is a great first step! We make viewing our online inventory as informative as possible by providing high quality photos from different angles. If you're not totally sure what you're looking for, try browsing by Artist or browsing by collection. 

Consider digital renderings.

As you saw above, digital renderings can provide a good approximate idea of an artwork in your specific space. In order to create a digital rendering, we need is a photo of the wall where the art will theoretically hang, along with dimensions of the wall or the closest reference item (i.e. “the sofa is 72” long). Note that the image should be well lit, and straight on. 

Live with the art on approval.

Being able to see artwork in person is unbeatable! While we photograph as accurately as possible to maintain the integrity and vibrancy of the original artwork, there’s no way to avoid art looking slightly different online; color varies from screen to screen. If a piece is textural or changes color under shifting light especially, it is more impactful and accurate to see it in person.

Art can change it's look depending on the time of day, and there are certain artworks that go through complete transformations based on the light. Another helpful service we provide comes in the form of “Art on Approval,” meaning we’ll let a client live with the artwork for up to three business days. If client doesn’t love the piece after a few days, they can return it at no cost aside from any courier charges incurred.
