Pixelate This!

Trends often come from the runway, inspired from the clothing stomping down fashion week’s runways. But sometimes, technology inspires artists to break the fashion mold and look at art, and subversively, life– in a different way! Pixelated art is a clever and charming way to add colour, pattern and large scale oomph to your home. A bit tongue in cheek, a bit high street, we are seriously loving this block-y trend.
