Description
In Space V – Circles over Red
Wall art inks two open circles across large fields of deep red, sandy ochre and white-grey and cuts the middle with a thick white spill: abstract painting held together by its textures rather than by its drawing.
Technique and texture
The planes went on with the blade and were rubbed back in places, so the layer beneath pushes through the one on top. The white at the centre was poured and stands above the surface as relief. A cluster of small brown grains is pressed into the middle and gives the picture one almost sandy, touchable place. The circles are pulled in a single pass with a narrow tool.
The motif
The left third is a deep red field with darker vertical strokes; a warm sandy ochre plane with a faint drawing on it lies upper right. A white circle hangs upper left and a black one right of centre, both empty and unfilled. Between them the white spill runs downward with drops. Along the foot sit three dark points, and yellow-orange bars drop down the right-hand side.
Setting and placement
The two circles only read as circles from a distance, so give it room to be seen from across the floor. Red and ochre agree with timber and leather, so it works in a living room and in an office; on a white wall the graphic drawing of the circles reads hardest.

Circles over Red: choosing a size
In Space V – Circles over Red is painted in 13 landscape sizes, from 60 x 50 to 200 x 170 cm. The white and black circles only read from a little distance, so give them the wall above a piece of furniture and two thirds of its width: 130 x 110 or 140 x 120 cm over a 200 cm sofa, 120 x 100 cm above a 180 cm dining table, 110 x 95 cm over a bed 160 cm wide, and 100 x 85 cm above a 150 cm sideboard. A narrow hallway takes 70 x 60 cm.
Choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its deep red field arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Circles over Red is chosen separately in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Delivery of Circles over Red takes 15–45 days. The poured white and the pressed brown grains stand above the surface because the painting is hand-painted on canvas, not printed.
