Description
Four rounded black forms sit on a softly brushed canvas in this framed print, held in a slim firwood frame. One is a smooth pebble, one curls round like an open bracket, and two are built from stacked lobes, so the eye travels across the whole piece rather than stopping at a single point. The black shapes have a rough, grainy surface that catches the light, which gives the print more depth than a flat poster. It measures 53cm across and 73cm tall, with a frame 4cm deep, and weighs 1.1KG. That is a good medium size: large enough to hold a wall by itself, and easy to work into a group of frames.
Hang it above a sideboard, a console table or a bed, where the portrait shape and strong black forms give a calm wall a focal point. It works as well in a hallway, a home office or a bedroom as it does in a living room, and suits anyone who likes a graphic, pared-back interior with plenty of space around each piece. Because the black reads so clearly, it holds its own against pale walls and light wood furniture, and it sits just as comfortably beside darker accents such as a black lamp base.
The frame is firwood, its grain and slightly weathered edges plain to see, and the printed canvas sits just inside it, set a little back from the front face. The frame is narrow, so the artwork does the talking. Wood moves a little with heat and damp, so a spot away from a radiator and a steamy room suits the frame best. For the clearest effect, hang it with its centre at roughly eye height and leave a hand's width or more of clear wall to each side, or lean it on a picture ledge beside a few books and a small vase.
