Description
Line-work – calligraphy on peach plaster
Bold black calligraphic strokes on a warm salmon-peach plaster ground, like a standing figure made of lines and one heavy slab: the main bundle of thick vertical strokes runs top to bottom left of centre, forking into two prongs at the top and folding into a knee at the lower left.
Technique & Texture
On the right stands a broad rounded black slab with a dry-brushed scratch in its lower half, and between the bundle and the slab runs a thin vertical line. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the strokes are pulled decisively and in a single breath.
The Motif
The plaster is a mottled peach with rust freckles and soft cloud patches, and the contrast between the black and the warmth is gentle, not aggressive. Two protagonists – the bundle of lines and the slab – converse across a warm emptiness.
Styling & Placement
An expressive decorative painting for living rooms, offices and entrance halls; the warm peach ground ties it to wood and terracotta, and the black calligraphy gives it character. Wall art for walls that can carry one decisive gesture.

Linework: an upright canvas for narrow walls and tall entrance halls
Linework is available in 16 upright sizes, from 40 x 63 to 200 x 319 cm. For a narrow wall beside a door, choose 50 x 79 or 60 x 95 cm; above a console table, 70 x 111 cm; and next to a sofa, 80 x 127 cm, which lifts the black bundle of strokes above the back of the sofa. For a stairwell or a tall entrance hall, choose 100 x 159 to 120 x 191 cm. In the photograph Linework hangs in a slim gold frame between the dark wooden slats of a hallway with ceiling lights.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and Linework arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for Linework the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery of Linework takes 15–45 days. The black calligraphic strokes and the dry-brushed slab on peach plaster are hand-painted, so this painting is not a print.
