We got to visit the Summer Exhibition 2021 at the Royal Academy London where every year, at the academy, an artist coordinator directs a show. This year was Yinka Shonibare’s turn to meet with the committee and review entries to get the show put together. The 253^rd summer exhibition’s theme is reclaiming magic. RA received over 15,000 entries this year, of which 1,300 works of art were on display in this exhibition. The summer exhibitions have been happening since 1769. Additionally, it brings together artists of a myriad of mediums, household names, and emerging artists.

The Royal Academy has been around for over 250 years. RA does not only host exhibitions all year round, but it also offers courses for artists who want to learn to perfect their craft. Additionally, the academy is led by practicing artists and elected by their peers in recognition of their work. The royal academicians donate one of their artworks to the RA’s collection when elected. RA has a breathtaking treasure trove of British Art, which you can explore online. If you want to check out the Royal Academy 2021 Summer Exhibition, you can buy tickets from their website.

Inspired by the artworks in the summer exhibition, we recolored the Full Bloom carpet. This floral pattern carpet is a part of the nature collection. The main inspiration behind the collection was to bring the beauty found in nature into your next interiors project. We chose to bring in brighter colors to the floral pattern carpet for this recolor.

We included green tones like Hollywood Gold by Benjamin Moore and Talipot Palm by Sherwin-Williams for the material board. Additionally, we included light neutral tones, such as the Modern Farmhouse White Ash and Silkx Raw. We added some texture with Sand by Cortina Leathers and Zellige by Riad Tile. Lastly, we added some darker tones with Stitch by Bernhardt Textiles and Plum Martini by Benjamin Moore.

Talk Carpet’s recolor program allows you to create the perfect floral pattern carpet in any color you’d like. Additionally, we offer nine different carpet substrates, and you can play around with our online tool to find the perfect carpet for your next interiors project. Not to mention that you can get a sample within just five business days. Contact us if you want to learn more about the program.

Sitting right next to Pompidou in Paris is Atelier Brancusi. This place is a reconstruction of the studio of renowned Romanian-born artist Constantin Brancusi. In the atelier, there are 137 sculptures, 87 bases, 41 drawings, two paintings, and more than 1600 grass photographic plates and prints by the artist.

Brancusi died in 1957, leaving behind a lot of his work in his studio, which consisted of 11 joined studios. The Romanian artist would break down walls to adjoin studios and create various environments to exhibit his work. He considered the relationship between sculptures and the space they occupied to be of crucial importance.

In 1997, the Atelier Brancusi as we know it today opened its doors on the esplanade of the Center Pompidou. So much of Brancusi’s work is on display at the atelier, giving you an idea of how much the artist put into the world. There are wood and plaster sculptures, bronze colonnades, animal shapes, and photographic studies. It is a beautiful and inspiring place to visit.

Inspired by the stone and natural textures of Brancusi’s work, we recolored the Stone Surface carpet. This is part of the nature collection by ege carpets, which takes inspiration from forests, deserts, and oceans. This light recolor of the carpet allows you to bring a textured palette to your next interior design project.

We created a material board that focuses on a textured palette with the atelier colors and the recolored carpet in mind. We included dark woods like Texas Mesquite 83000 and Artisanal Hardwoods. Keeping the dark brown theme, we also included different textured textiles like Artisan Textured Finishes by CopperSmith, Basketcase by Cortina Leathers, Lafayette Velvet by Opuzen, and Chesney by Valley Forge Fabrics. Additionally, we decided to bring some lighter tones of cream and white by adding Cove, True Terrazzo, Concrete Look Porcelain Paver, and Passion. To tie in the soft colors with the dark ones, we included mid-toned neutral paints like Crewel Tan by Sherwin-Williams and Mesa Tan by Dunn-Edwards Paints.
