Very Peri: Bring Home The 2022 Pantone Color of the Year

Each year since 2000, Pantone Color Institute selects a color to represent the themes and trends for the upcoming year. The institute scours the realm of color from art, films, fashion and design to lifestyle, socioeconomic conditions, and technology to land on a defining color that sets the tone for the rest of the new year.

This year’s Pantone Color of the Year 2022, Very Peri “reflects the changes taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. The carefree and confident glow that Very Peri emanates and its daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit help us embrace the world’s new vision and the future. As the world gradually returns to a more hopeful future after being caged indoors for 2 years, 2021’s color represents technological innovation and the fusion of modern life as we see a rising artistic community in the digital space.

Very Peri’s significance and influence in the art and design world means embracing this color when choosing a new art piece for your home. Add this year’s bold and exciting color to your home with our carefully curated collection of Art and Design pieces!

With the rise of the spiritual community in the digital space leading to an increase in self-guided meditation, Radiance of Mind by Alessia Lu representing the artist’s vision of the Crown Chakra makes this painting featuring Very Peri the perfect actualization of technology and life merging. The work plays with deep violet, purple, light blue and silver tones with a glossy finish that enhances the nuances of the colors. Its glossy finish alongside the depth of colors gives the painting a completely different look and feel in various lighting conditions.

Organic Landscape #2 by Alexandre Manuel is part of an ongoing series of abstract Aerial photographs captured in Europe from a Cessna plane among the rivers and estuaries. The violet and blue hues in the photograph stands out in the scene showcasing the brilliant merge of nature and the technological capabilities of a camera.

Purple Stool by Cameron Platter is part of a series of carved wooden stools in the artist’s first solo exhibition in Thailand ‘The Message is the Message’. While on a trip in Bangkok, the artist was met by these Thai street-style stools during his walking tour. Impressed by these stools, the artist decided to recreate these stools by carving wood to mimic the artificial plastic material the stools are typically made of and presenting them in a myriad of colors.

Study after Delacroix, Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple 1 by Dana Gordon boasts a beautifully bold violet. This dynamic piece of art is part of the artist’s Abstract Studies after Old Masters series where he continues his exploration of the potential of mark-making and line to create meaning-imbued color, shape, and space. In more recent years, the artist increasingly pushed his work into the realm of expressive liquid calligraphy.

VIOLET DREAMS by Maryana Bryukhanova is an explosion of Very Peri on a canvas. This abstract painting of mountains captures nature’s landscape, its eternity and the changes they go through.  The artist explores the living process of life and reality with her paintings which she describes as a reflection on the verge of abstraction and sensitive experience. She pays close attention to color and how sensitive and emotional they can be.

Plates in Azul Macaubas by Barberini & Gunnell are a great way to add Very Peri into your home. The elegant accessory created using artisanal processes, combining ancient techniques of sculptures with advanced technologies brings to the table the same dialogue this year’s color does. Rediscovering and reimagining the ancient art of manual sculpture making gives new life to every ounce of marble used, bringing to light its lost beauty.

Artist Mark Batty’s fascination with astronomy has bled into his artistic practice, studying the ethereal and overwhelming nature of space through art. Norma is part of the Star Cloud series, focused on the bright region along the Milky Way arm. The painting is realistic in style, representing the natural cosmos which can come off as abstraction due to the nature of space and its vastness. This piece focuses on a region around the constellation Norma and makes a great addition to a space junkie’s art collection.

Drawing inspiration from interactions with the cosmic world underwater, Olga Nikitina brings forth Fish Stream. Blue, violet and pink hues of the School of Fish are only visible underwater when the light switches and shines on their reflective scales. The same way ocean water flows, their shapes and formation change with the tide, being one and the same with the water. The painting possesses the very essence and energetic characteristics of Very Peri through its use of color and movement.

This landscape painting by Nicole Cijs is a calm minimal abstract landscape with purple, blue, brown and pink hues. Diminuendo is a painting of living symphonies in a highly purified form, creating a calming and inviting atmosphere. The painting reminds us to find the beauty in the flow and rhythm of freedom, creativity and new beginnings.

As the same suggests, Cookie Pot by Mas Creations finds its roots in round cookies in the form of a flowerpot. The unusual round-shaped object and its bright color bring joy into your space. Pair this pot with other pots in the collection or arrange flowers from your local florist to add softness and character into your space.
