Description
Office – warm bands run down into each other
Wall art washes horizontal bands of orange, gold, ochre, mallow and green one above another and then lets the colour run — painting on canvas here is as much about gravity as about the bands it is pulling on.
Technique and texture
The paint went on fluid and was drawn downward, which is why every band leaves runs of its own. The dark divisions between them are picked out with small sparks of red, blue and white that behave like reflections on water. The surface is smooth and carries no relief at all — the whole tension is in the colour.
The motif
The bands are of unequal width and gather toward the middle, so the rhythm never turns mechanical. Vertical runs cross the borders and tie the bands to each other. The repeated horizontal division brings horizons to mind without the picture ever becoming a landscape.
Setting and placement
A landscape crop with a calm horizontal structure fills the wide empty stretch above a table or a cabinet, which is the wall most rooms have and few pictures fit. Timber and copper are what the warm range wants near it.

Office: sizes, stretcher and delivery
Office is painted in 19 landscape sizes, from 50 x 25 to 340 x 170 cm. Its horizontal bands of orange, gold and ochre want a long piece of furniture beneath them, so size it at roughly two thirds of that piece’s width. A desk or dining table of 180 cm takes 120 x 60 cm, a 200 cm sofa 130 x 65 or 140 x 70 cm, and a 160 cm bed 110 x 55 cm. A long hallway with no doors can carry 180 x 90 cm.
Choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its running warm bands arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Office is optional, the Frame menu starts at Without frame. Delivery of Office takes 15–45 days. The painting is hand-painted on canvas, and the runs between orange, mallow and green are not printed.
Questions about Office
Which size of Office suits the wall above a desk?
Over a 180 cm desk choose 120 x 60 cm, over a 150 cm one 100 x 50 cm, so the warm bands stay in proportion with the desk.
Does Office arrive ready to hang?
Yes, if you choose YES under Stretcher, the canvas with its orange and gold bands is stretched on a wooden stretcher before it ships.
Does Office come with a frame?
Only if you pick one: the Frame menu starts at Without frame, and a frame can be matched to the ochre and gold of the bands.
Can I order Office in a size that is not among the 19 listed?
If no size between 50 x 25 and 340 x 170 cm fits your wall, ask us about a painting made to order with these warm bands.
