Hottest Art Trends for 2023
‘Tis the season to be the hostess with the mostest. We’ve compiled a list of forecasted art trends for 2023 that are sure to impress your in-laws this Christmas. Read on to get ahead of the trends and dazzle your guests this festive season.
Large-scale Abstracts
There’s nothing quite like the draw of large-scale artworks. They instantly capture your attention and demand appreciation. Perhaps that’s why large-scale abstracts are Bluethumb’s number one most-purchased artwork.
So, what is abstract art? Well, it’s an art style that is subjective and non-representational. Artists paint intuitively using shape, form, colour and line work in modern freedom of expression.

Whether you like the flow and tranquillity of Angela Roskell’s earth-inspired abstracts or the bold and melodic movement of Martin Breeze, Bluethumb has a vast selection of large-scale original abstract artworks available to purchase. Score a large-scale abstract of your own and instantly impress your guests this Christmas!
Minimalist Colour Palette
When it comes to colour, artworks with minimalistic palettes are trending. This is because many people have adopted a less-is-more approach to styling. Minimalistic, earthy-toned palettes have a calming quality, as they imitate the serenity of the outside world. While on the other hand, bright maximalist colour palettes can be polarising and overwhelming to some people.

Not only are they visually breathtaking, but minimalistic artworks are also generally easier to style, as a multitude of colours isn’t competing for the viewer’s attention. Bluethumb’s Interior Designer and Trade Manager, Alexandra, says, “adding minimalistic designs into your home improves your overall state of mind.”
It’s easy to shop for colour on Bluethumb. Simply refine your search by selecting desired colours on the left-hand side. Your next, picture-perfect, minimalist addition is only a scroll away! Or, better yet, view our Less is More: Minimalism curation.
Textured Artworks
Displaying textured artwork injects personality and interest into an otherwise bland space. After spending a good part of the last two years indoors (thanks to a little thing called COVID), it’s no surprise that people have become bored with their surroundings and compelled to decorate. Textured artworks are a favourite amongst our collectors.
Snow White by Eva Johnova.
Impasto is a painting technique artists use to create texture within their artwork. Impasto is the layering and mixing of thick paint with visible brush and palette-knife strokes. When dry, impasto gives the artwork a sense of dimension and energy.
Amina by Katie Wyatt.
Texture satisfies our innate sense of touch and curiosity. While the pull to trace your fingertips along the dried paint is strong, try to resist the temptation. Add intrigue to your walls by shopping our range of impasto artworks from Australian artists.
