An enlarged family portrait of Alex, Max
and Maya by local photographer Andrew
Cebulka provides another focal point for
the space.
Artwork plays a prominent role in
the design scheme. The work of close
artist friends is displayed in the home,
the perfect fit for the architecture and
modern feel. Anchoring one side of
the living room is a piece by John
Duckworth from his “Urban Journey”
series. The artist was born in San Diego
and moved to Charleston in 1993. He
lives in an 100-year-old farmhouse in
the rural horse country of Johns Island,
which now includes a state-of-the-art
printing, framing and painting studio.
His bio-graphy elaborates on his influences: “His works are influenced by
the vivid colors of Thiebaud, the quiet
solitude of Hopper, the cinematography
of Jean-Luc Goddard, the captured
moments of Cartier Bresson…walking
the line between realism and abstraction, the artist infuses his work with
a passion for pure color, and intimate
knowledge of nature, and a rhythm
drawn from life itself.”
The living room showcases the work of
these artists and perfectly reflects blurred
lines of the project between inside vs.
outside and industrial vs. domestic comfort. Monica softened the industrial feel
by switching from concrete to oak floors
and encouraging a warm palette with
soothing textures for the textile choices.
