Gestos Warm Brush Movement Acrylic Painting - 100x180cm

The Gestos is a 100x180cm acrylic painting on canvas featuring sweeping brushwork in copper, burnt orange, grey and cream tones with gold leaf detailing. The composition uses layered brushstrokes that arc across the canvas in fluid curves, building texture through visible paint application and metallic highlights. The painting is stretched onto a wooden frame and sits within a 5.1cm-deep gold polystyrene outer frame that adds a defined border around the canvas edges.

Designed for large wall spans in living rooms, hotel lobbies, hallways and above king-size beds, the 100x180cm format can hang vertically or horizontally depending on the wall proportions and ceiling height. Vertical orientation suits narrow wall sections between windows or in hallways, while horizontal placement works above sofas, console tables and bed headboards in rooms with standard 2.4-2.7m ceiling heights. The painting arrives ready to hang with rear fixings attached.

The brushwork builds depth through overlapping layers of paint, with areas of thick impasto texture contrasting against smoother washes of colour. The gold leaf accents catch ambient light and shift appearance depending on the room's natural and artificial light sources throughout the day. At 5.63kg, the painting requires secure wall fixings into studs or solid masonry rather than plasterboard-only fixings. The gold polystyrene frame provides a lightweight border that complements the warm metallic tones within the painting without the weight of a solid timber frame.

The colour palette of copper, grey, cream and gold pairs with both neutral interiors and rooms using terracotta, ochre or teal accent colours. The abstract composition avoids literal imagery, making it adaptable to different interior styles from contemporary to mid-century and industrial spaces where textured artwork adds visual interest to plain walls.

Product Specification Sheet

Can the Gestos be hung both vertically and horizontally?

Yes. The painting works in both orientations. Vertical suits narrow wall sections in hallways or between windows, while horizontal placement works above sofas and beds. The rear fixings support both mounting options.

What type of wall fixings are needed?

At 5.63kg, the painting requires fixings into wall studs or solid masonry. Plasterboard-only fixings will not provide adequate support. Use two fixings spaced to match the rear hanging points on the frame.

Is the frame solid wood or polystyrene?

The outer border is gold-finished polystyrene, not solid timber. This keeps the overall weight down while providing a defined edge around the canvas. The canvas itself is stretched onto a wooden internal frame.

How is the painting cleaned?

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a feather duster. Do not use water, cleaning sprays or abrasive materials on the acrylic paint or gold leaf areas, as these can damage the surface texture and metallic finishes.
