Bell used as Garden Art

Forms of Garden art have been with us for centuries, metal bird ornaments, dragonfly’s, fairies, sconces and even metal sheep and cows are all, part of the new style of garden art. With arrange of new materials and techniques , including art pieces made from corten steel and glass, art is the ‘new thing’ in the Australian garden.

It is mainly with the introduction of corten steel that outdoor wall art using metal has become possible. With lighting that can illuminate designs and sculptures, you can make even the smallest courtyard wall come alive at any time of the day.

The versatility of garden art is that it can in many cases also be used indoors, and perhaps artworks that can be hung on a wall, either indoors or out are among the most versatile.

What can we find

We are looking at two types of art pieces for the garden, off the shelf and individually commissioned pieces. We are also looking at scale, from large imposing art works to smaller more subtle additions to the garden.

As with all outdoor art and furniture we are also looking for low maintenance and weather resistant works.

Examples

  • wall art
  • sculpture
  • garden ornaments
  • outdoor mirrors
  • wall tiles
  • bells
  • obelisks
  • decorative urns

And when installing any garden art, consider installing appropriate outdoor lighting to highlight the works.

The Place or Art in the Garden

Some garden designers promote the notion that Garden Art is always of secondary importance to plants and flowers. 

Others design almost entirely around major pieces of Garden Art – Sculptures, Outdoor Mirrors, Fountains and Water Features. What is the right approach for your garden?

Look at the space that you have, and the effect that you wish to create. Garden Art has its place, be it big and bold, or something that is more secretive. A splash of colour from a piece of wall art can transform a small courtyard.

Look at obelisks that can serve the function of a climbing frame as well as a piece of garden art.

Garden Art for outdoor and exterior spaces comes in many forms, traditional and contemporary garden sculpture, including plaques, metal wall art and even painted scenes. 

Garden Art can be monumental or small and secretive, its all a matter of style. Garden Art for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra and Adelaide, for Australia and the Australian Garden and Landscape.
