Description
In Space V – Cross of Rust
Wall art intersects a horizontal ochre band through a vertical brown mass and thickens metallic circles and rings where they meet — painting on canvas that reads at close range like an old worn machine.
Technique and texture
The densest load is at the centre, where the paint rises into relief and round rings of different sizes are pressed into it. The horizontal band is pulled in one wide sweep of the blade. The edge between the red and the ground is deliberately torn, and long grey and white runs travel down the lower part.
The motif
A dark brown vertical holds the middle with metallic grey circles distributed along it — the largest right of centre, smaller rings and dots around it. An ochre-gold band runs through it from edge to edge. Red appears in two blocks, upper left and lower right. The top edge is a cold blue-grey and the lower corners pass into olive green.
Setting and placement
A warm brown-red range does well in rooms with timber, brick or concrete — a living room, a dining room, an industrially furnished space. The landscape shape wants a wider wall and enough standing-back room for the cross to assemble.

Cross of Rust: choosing the size for your room
Cross of Rust, the fifth work in the In Space series, is painted in 18 landscape sizes, from 45 x 30 to 260 x 175 cm. Let the meeting of the ochre band and the brown vertical take up around two thirds of the furniture width below. A 200 cm sofa carries 140 x 93 cm, a bed 160–180 cm wide takes 110 x 73 or 120 x 80 cm, a dining table 120 x 80 cm, and a long hallway 90 x 60 cm.
The metallic rings of Cross of Rust are hand-painted with a knife and pressed into thick paint, so this painting is not printed. Pick YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its red fields comes stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Cross of Rust is optional, with the Frame menu starting at Without frame. Delivery in 15–45 days.
