ARTmonday: Arite Kannovas

During my Sunday afternoon catching up on what’s been posted on design blogs this week, I spotted an image on The Design Files blog that led me to painter Arite Kannovas. It was the bedroom of Melbourne stylist Heather Nette King. Above her bed, she hung a newly acquired painting by the artist. Turns out King’s blog is quite fantastic as well, and promptly added it to Google Reader.

Back to Arite Kannovas. According to Daily Imprint (another blog worth a follow), Arite, who also lives in Melbourne, both paints and designs textiles. Her use of color is fantastic, and King’s crisp white room is just the way to show it off. (My favorite is “Eye Candy”, in case anyone who loves me is reading this.)

The home of stylist Heather Nette King.
