Description
Relaxation – two dry discs and one flower
Wall art lays two large dry discs on a silver-grey ground in warm brown and gold-ochre, and leaves everything else empty: abstract painting in which one small violet flower on a thin stem between them is the only saturated colour, and therefore the place the eye always stops.
Technique and texture
The discs are built from a dense relief deposit cut with radiating lines that run from the centre out to the rim. The surface underneath is knife-laid in wide flat passes and rubbed back in places to a lighter layer beneath. The edge of each disc is blackened with a dry, furred stroke that separates it from the ground.
The motif
The left disc is larger and faces square out; the right one is turned slightly and more cracked, so the two are not a repeat. Two closed dark buds on short stems stand beside them. The flower between the discs is small enough to be missed at a glance and is what the whole arrangement is built around.
Setting and placement
The palette is deliberately quiet, so the piece does not compete with furniture and carries a small room. It belongs where the room is meant to slow down, and where nothing hangs beside it.
- Technique: hand-painted painting on canvas, relief discs, incised radiating lines, flat knife passes

Relaxation – a wide format for sofa and bed
Relaxation is a markedly wide painting, made in 14 sizes from 100 x 40 to 340 x 115 cm. Above a 160 cm bed 100 x 40 cm is enough, above a 180 cm bed 130 x 44 cm, and over a 200 cm sofa the two discs and the violet flower get 140 x 47 cm. In a long hallway or over a 240 cm sofa, 160 x 54 cm fits, again about two thirds of the width.
The relief discs with their incised rays and the small violet flower are hand-painted with knife and brush, and nothing on this canvas is printed. When you choose YES under Stretcher, the long silver-grey canvas arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Relaxation is an extra choice in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. Allow 15–45 days for Relaxation to be delivered.
Questions about Relaxation
Which size of Relaxation goes above a bed?
Above a 160 cm bed we suggest 100 x 40 cm, and above a 180 cm bed 130 x 44 cm, so the flower between the discs lands over the middle of the bed.
Does Relaxation arrive ready to hang?
Yes, when you choose YES under Stretcher, the wide canvas with its two discs is stretched on a wooden stretcher and goes up straight away.
Is a frame included with Relaxation?
The frame for Relaxation is chosen separately. The Frame menu begins at Without frame, and the quiet silver-grey palette works without one too.
