A Localised Tribute To Art Nouveau Lovers and Art Exhibition Watchers

20/10/2021

If you feel called upon by the title of this article, you are indeed a connoisseur of fine art! Although Art Nouveau initially reached peak popularity back in the 19th century, the movement's influence is still subtly visible in our modern age, carefully and artfully hidden amidst wall installations and furniture carvings. 


Before jumping into decorating your home in the Art Nouveau style, let's take a look at a time when this ornamental style was considered popular culture. Inspired by Japanese ornaments and the art of wood cutting, Art Nouveau’s defining feature is the use of long and connecting lines that mimic nature.

One of the most famous art styles in our modern times definitely give off Nouveau vibes: Batik. How and why, you may ask? Modern Batik designs more often than not include connecting long lines and elements of nature. Sound familiar? Some might even consider the Victorian elements of Art Nouveau to mirror the aesthetics of modern Batik in Asia!

As much as we have advanced and adapted to modern civilisation, Batik is still very much part of our lives.

With the Liku style that defines the brand itself, you'll be able to keep a part of Art Nouveau near you at all times.
