SPRING/SUMMER 2014
Urban Road has brought original canvas art prints into the homes of art lovers everywhere. Founded in Sydney by Suzie Atkin in 2010, Urban Road creations are inspired by urban surrounds and nature’s beauty; a unique array of flowers and plants, animals, landscapes, water and abstract patterns in a mix of colour palettes – sometimes vibrant, sometimes subtle, always beautiful. As well as the traditional canvas art prints and cushions, Urban Road has released two new product ranges in the Spring/Summer 2014 collection – Emma Blomfield x Urban Road, Designer Rug Collection and Wall Decor Discs and accessories. These stunning items will add another dimension to your decor, oozing character, charm and personality. The Spring/Summer 2014 collection takes inspiration from the cool, salty ocean breeze of a coastal Australian summer with a Palm Springs twist, harking back to Suzie’s childhood home of California. The Spring/Summer 2014 Canvas collection has been lovingly created using a combination of hand painted art, photography and digital design, printed in Australia on 100% cotton canvas using giclee printing methods and eco-solvent ink.

GEORGINA VINSUN FOR THE URBAN ROAD, DESIGNER COLLECTION
Georgina paints bright, colourful (sometimes romantic) abstracts, which employ soft veils of saturated colour and flurries of energetic brushwork. The paintings are generally inspired by the awesomeness of nature with the sky being particularly key. Its vast size and everchanging cloud formations usually prove to be an initial starting point, from which she then incorporates other ideas and themes. “I never tire of watching the sky, observing the changes in light and tone or feeling my spirits lift as I leave buildings to be surprised by spectacular colour combinations especially grey tones - and the smell of the cool fresh air.� Her paintings are not intended to provide faithful, photo-realistic works but rather to reflect an emotional and thoughtful response to nature and to capture the essence of these transient sensations through the medium of paint. There is an intentional ambiguity to the work which leaves them open to interpretation and subjective reflection. She is interested in the concept of spontaneous response and expression and hence her use of colour is often instinctive and impulsive - revelling in the contrast of soft, buttery layers of colour with a harder, gestural element.

BRITT BASS FOR THE URBAN ROAD, DESIGNER COLLECTION
“My work is about process and intution. I am ever searching for ways to create subtleties and surprises through fine details and passageways. I feel the work takes on its own life, and the subconscious of the painting and my own intuition mutualistically guide the process. Through layering, adding and omitting I explore this artistic relationship until it culminates into a whole, finished piece. I grew up in a suburb outside Atlanta where I fell in love with color and design at a young age. I always knew I wanted to create things. My mom has worked in the industry my whole life from running her own sewing workroom, to faux painting and interior design. I was so fortunate to have such a creative influence: all of that exposure to color and texture helped me fall in love with ‘making’ early on. I graduated from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in May of 2011 with a degree in Art Education with an emphasis on painting. I am currently living in Athens, painting and making installations full time. In addition to my studio here, I also have a showroom at the Goat Farm in Atlanta.”

“Suzie and I were inspired by the summery colours, tones and textures of Palm Springs in California. We wanted the rug range to be bold and bright with a sense of fun thrown in for good measure. After all, a rug is really a piece of artwork for your floor and each of the nine rugs in this collection tells its own artistic story. The colours we chose are varied in tones with a heavy focus on aquas, purple hues and darker shades of navy and grey to outline and make certain features of the rugs stand out. We wanted a broad range of styles across the Designer Rug Collection so that they could be used in a variety of homes – from the leopard to the palms, there's a rug to suit almost any home’s architecture. Moving into spring these rugs will pack a punch when it comes to adding colour, scale and character to your space.” – Emma Blomfield
