Description
Nambu is a hand-painted canvas of layered hills, laid down in soft bands of grey, beige and white and caught along their ridges by fine flecks of gold. It comes in a long, low landscape format, 150cm long and 50cm high, so it reads as a calm horizon across a wall rather than a single small picture. The canvas is 3.7cm deep, and its edges are finished in a plain pale grey, so it hangs neatly without a frame. Look closely and each hill is built from rows of raised, rippling lines in the paint, which gives the surface real texture that catches the light.
This is wall art for the longer walls in a home: above a sofa, behind a bed, over a sideboard or along a hallway where a narrow piece would look lost. The neutral palette sits comfortably with white, cream, stone and grey schemes, and the touches of gold pick up brass lamps, gilded vases and warm wood in the room. We think it suits anyone who wants a room to feel calm and finished, adding texture and depth to a plain wall without competing with the furniture around it. It belongs indoors, in a dry living room, bedroom or hallway.
Every hill is painted by hand onto the canvas front, and the ridged texture and gold flecks sit within the paint itself rather than being printed, so what you hang is a genuine painted surface. At 2.44KG it is easy to lift into position, though it is still worth choosing a wall fixing rated for its weight, particularly for a plasterboard wall. Before you pick the spot, measure the full 150cm span and leave a little clear wall at each side, so the long horizon has room to breathe.
