tyling art by Australian artists Nicki Comelli – Baker and Jessica Vince – Baker
1. Make your walls POP
Australian artists Nicki Comelli and Jessica Vince – Baker; What are some of your favourite things in life? Do you enjoy crunching on a bag of Smith’s potato chips while watching a movie or mixing a gin and tonic with friends on a Friday night after work? Or love family life on a sunny day and fighting over your favourite Zoopa Doopa icy pole flavour?
When choosing a piece of art, you must connect with it and, most of all, love it. So what are some of the qualities that make you unique apart from your DNA? Well, to the Baker Collection, that is simple ART.
Australian artist Nicki Comelli – Baker’s pop art paintings are full of energy and fun and can help you express your personality and give life to your space.
Fancy a glass of Bombay?
Style ‘This is not Gin’ in a bar or a living area, and let it be the hero piece of your room. Surround it with soft furnishings such as beautiful creamy wools, natural linens and sheepskins. Or have fun with it in a contemporary space alongside some modern, simple furnishings. The dramatic black and blue hues in this painting would contrast beautifully alongside a brass cocktail cart or sideboard. You can hang it as it is straight onto a wall or have it leaning up against the wall on a buffet.
“When you want to create a home for yourself, the first thing you should start with is art. Art personalises a space and shows who you are. You’ve got to go with what makes your heart sing and what makes you happy when you see it. Only then will a house start to reflect the client, rather than a furniture showroom or a Pinterest page.”Cited from Zoe Murphy
Connect with it and love it
2. Play with hues to represent you and your space
If alcoholic beverages are not to your liking, opt for a fun, quirky piece such as a bag of potato chips. This unique piece will be a showstopper in a cinema or rumpus room. The floating Tasmanian oak frame on this piece softens the dramatic theatre black background and gives you splendid hues to play with. Have fun with these pink hues and contrast them against a pool or table tennis table. Go bright and bold with cushions and throws, or tone down ‘This is not Smith’s’ with large neutral-toned velvet cushions and a tanned chesterfield lounge.

3. Have fun when styling your space
Nothing is better than walking into a house, and it is a home. So what is it that makes a house a home? Uniqueness. I know in my family. My daughter loves a Raspberry Zooper Dooper, and my husband will win the fight over Fairyfloss. ‘This is not a Zooper Dooper’ is a true conversation starter in any room it hangs. It is guaranteed to break the ice when you have your friends over. Have fun styling this piece in the family kitchen, pantry or pool house. Bring out anyone of the colours in this piece with ease. Go with plush lemon throws navy blue shag pile rug, or keep it fresh with completely white furnishings.
4. Styling Australian artist Nicki Comelli Baker’s Gelato bowls
Full-bodied painterly oil textures are thickly applied to a flat matte background along with her signature-style graffiti marks. These are the elements of Nicki’s Gelato bowls. Bright-coloured tonalities fill these canvases. When styling one of these original artworks, think yellow ochre hues to neutralise the palette alongside some bright popping colours. A handblown vase would suit beautifully, as would a matte black vase and a large bunch of flowers. Gelato bowls would also bring a wow factor to pantry spaces. This minimalistic painting suits a sleek contemporary wall and simple surroundings just as much as a red brick wall filled with books and potted plants.
5. Styling big bright, colourful abstract flowers
If colourful, playful abstract florals are your go-to when choosing an original piece of art. Check out Jessica Vince – Baker’s large-scale ‘Cartel Flowers.’ This vibrant, heavily textured series can be hung in a bedroom, entrance or main living room area. Choose one of your favourite colours in the painting and style it with your blinds or curtains, cushions, rugs and throws. The ‘Cartel Flowers’ series can suit a Hampton-style house’s crisp whites, bring elegance to the dramatic hues of a contemporary space, or be layered with print on print. Think leopard print bedding, floral carpets and Gucci designer wallpaper.
6. A white painting never goes out of style
“Buy less, choose well, make it last.”Viven Westwood
‘Graffiti Flowers’, painted by Australian artist Jessica Vince is a series of paintings that brings a fresh vibrancy to any room. Bursting with colour on a predominately white painterly background and foreground, the ‘Graffiti Flowers’ series will bring a sense of fun and a zen vibe to any living area. Choose to pair this collection with predominately white furnishings as if it was in a gallery or make it all types of busy by hanging it in a room with additional art, miniature sculptures, vases and anything else that pleases your eye.
7. Contemporary meets traditional styling
‘Street Flowers,’ painted by Jessica Vince – Baker is a series of paintings with a more traditional flow. They are painted with bold strokes and heavy textures; this collection features contemporary square vases in block colours. Generally, the background colour is blocked, and a solid pot colour in a contrasting tone is layered over the top. Easily add a sense of drama to the textures in these paintings with a big ornate filigree frame or play it down with a simple floating timber frame. Keep this collection on the more reserved side or pump it up and make it funky with an edge to offset your room styling.
