Australian Interior Designer, Anna Spiro, looks to the work of abstract artist Debra Dawes in her blog Absolutely Beautiful Things.
These patterns echo graphic arts as well as Byzantine mosaics. The geometric lines and colors that create a type of depth resemble textile design. The appeal that designers have in works like Dawes is the ingenuity of color, form, texture and depth all portrayed in a flat 2d painting.
Another example of artists skewing the autonomy of their trade is the new rug line by Matthew Williamson. He began as a high fashion designer and is now exploring the same types of color and geometry in interior design.
This rug is filled with bright colors and shapes which are outlined in black referencing Byzantine mosaics once again.
Painters are now graphic designers and fashion designers now have rug lines.
