Description
Line – a rope between fire and light
Wall art divides the canvas with a rope-like line that crosses it and holds a fiery red field apart from a gold-ochre core — modern painting in which that line is not drawn at all but modelled from raised paint you can run a finger along. The red is densely textured, cut with deep incisions like cracked crust.
Technique and texture
The red fields are built with a chopped, heavy deposit in which the tool has left visible furrows. The ochre core is combed instead into concentric arcs that take the light at a different angle from everything around them. The rope is formed from a lifted ridge of colour rather than painted.
The motif
In the upper right there are three gold squares, each with a small bright dot at its centre, set at even intervals. The lower left is taken by pale silver fan shapes opening toward the bottom. Above and left of centre sits a dark olive organic mass, the only cool place on an otherwise heated canvas.
Setting and placement
This one carries a large empty wall and does not need neighbours. The warm palette answers to wood, brick and leather — a living room, a dining room, a foyer.

Line – from a narrow wall to a large empty one
Line is a portrait painting in 13 sizes, from 50 x 60 to 180 x 215 cm. The rope of raised paint that parts fiery red from gold-ochre reads clearly even on a narrow wall at 60 x 70 or 70 x 90 cm. Above a console about 120 cm wide, 80 x 95 cm fills two thirds of its width, and a stairwell takes 110 x 130 or 120 x 145 cm. Because Line needs no neighbours, a large empty wall carries 150 x 180 or 180 x 215 cm.
With YES chosen under Stretcher, the canvas with its deep incisions in the red arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. No frame is included with Line, and its Frame menu starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The three gold squares, the silver fans and the rope are hand-painted or modelled from paint, so Line is not a print.
Questions about Line
Which size of Line suits a large empty wall?
For a wall of its own choose 150 x 180 or 180 x 215 cm, so the rope between red and gold can carry the space.
Does Line arrive ready to hang?
Yes, with YES under Stretcher the canvas with its raised rope comes stretched on a wooden stretcher.
Is Line printed?
No, the rope is a lifted ridge of paint you can feel with a fingertip, and the ochre core is combed into concentric arcs.
Can I order Line in a size outside the 13 offered?
Yes, we paint the fiery red field with its gold core as a painting made to order in your measurements.
