Description
The Kisai is a 70x160cm vertical acrylic painting on stretched canvas, depicting a monochromatic portrait of a figure in traditional tribal dress with gold-accented jewellery and headwrap. The painting is executed in shades of grey, black and white with selective gold highlighting on the necklaces, bracelets and headwrap trim, creating focal contrast against the predominantly grey palette.
Designed for vertical wall space in entrance halls, stairwells, and narrow wall sections between windows or architectural features, the 160cm height gives presence without requiring wide wall width. The 3.5cm stretcher depth allows the canvas to hang 3-4cm proud of the wall surface, creating a framed effect without needing a separate frame. At 2.48kg the piece hangs on two standard picture hooks or D-rings on the rear stretcher bar.
The acrylic paint surface shows visible brushwork texture, particularly in the fabric folds and background treatment, which catches directional light and shifts the tonal depth of the grey palette depending on viewing angle. The textured background has a stippled or crackled finish that adds depth behind the figure. The monochromatic scheme suits earth-toned, neutral and contemporary interiors where a figurative focal point is wanted without introducing bright colour.
Kisai is part of Schuller's acrylic canvas collection, printed in Spain. The canvas is pre-stretched on a wooden frame and arrives ready to hang, with no assembly or framing required.

Frequently Asked
Does the painting need a frame?
No. The canvas is pre-stretched on a 3.5cm-deep wooden stretcher bar, which creates a gallery-wrapped effect that allows the painting to hang directly on the wall without an external frame. The edges of the canvas wrap around the sides of the stretcher.
What wall space does it need?
The painting measures 70cm wide by 160cm tall, so it needs a minimum clear wall width of approximately 80cm to avoid looking cramped. It works well in entrance halls, stairwells, and narrow wall sections between architectural features where vertical height is available but horizontal width is limited.
How is it hung?
The rear stretcher bar supports mounting with two picture hooks, D-rings or a hanging wire. At 2.48kg the painting is light enough for standard wall fixings on plasterboard or masonry. The 3.5cm depth means it sits 3-4cm proud of the wall once hung.
Is the gold detail painted or printed?
The gold accents on the jewellery and headwrap trim are part of the acrylic painting process. The surface shows visible brushwork texture, indicating hand-applied or hand-finished acrylic paint rather than a flat digital print.
