Description
Broken Lines – a lattice that leaves windows for the light
Thick chocolate-black strokes cross the canvas into a broken lattice: two near-horizontal bars across the top, a massive diagonal bundle from the left middle to the upper right corner, steep diagonals cutting it into a ladder at the centre, and vertical bars closing the right side and the lower left.
Technique & Texture
The dark actually dominates – it covers about sixty percent – and the white is the openings: small triangles caught between the diagonals, and rectangular windows between the bars. This is a hand-painted canvas – the surface of the strokes is glossy-mottled like wet slate, the edges rough.
The Motif
The lattice is not regular: the bars break, the angles do not meet, and the light finds its way through every gap. It is precisely this break that gives the title its sense and the painting its rhythm.
Styling & Placement
A graphic canvas painting for offices, hallways and modern living rooms; the black-and-white structure suits any furnishing, and the lattice gives the wall an architecture – wall art with a bold geometry.

The chocolate-black lattice on an upright canvas suits narrow walls: 40 x 63 cm in a hallway, 70 x 111 cm over a 100 cm console, matching two thirds of its width, 80 x 127 cm beside a desk in an office, and 110 x 175 cm up a tall stairwell.
In the photograph the canvas hangs in a slim white frame on a pale wall beside a dining area with light wooden chairs. For Broken Lines, choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the lattice arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Broken Lines is optional, with the Frame menu starting at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The thick strokes with their glossy, mottled surface are hand-painted, so Broken Lines is not a print.
