Using a pattern print as wall art is a fun way to walk the line between representational art and abstract art. You can take the object recognition and turn it into an abstract piece with the relaxing repetition of making it a pattern. Pattern play as art also allows you to take advantage of creating visual interest by adding size differentials to your gallery wall. A small piece can be made into a large piece with a pattern. Or a single large item can make a different statement with the busy-ness of a pattern, while still being one piece in a minimal installation. Patterns are just another option in creating layers in your decor.
