Description
Success – a flash across indigo depth
Wall art raises a broad pale form out of an indigo and copper ground and opens it in every direction, its centre the brightest point on the canvas: modern painting in which light appears to be coming through the dark rather than sitting on top of it. What lies behind is densely worked, with layers, incised signs and organic traces.
Technique and texture
The pale form is the thickest paint in the piece — thrown on with a spatula and standing several millimetres proud in places. The backing is the opposite, built in thin translucent layers that break through one another and give the depth. Fine incisions run over the whole surface and only appear from close to.
The motif
The form spreads on the diagonal with three longer arms reaching toward the edges and a dense, cracked middle. Around it the ground darkens to blue-black. The bottom third is the darkest passage and it anchors the composition firmly.
Setting and placement
A palette this dark needs either a bright room or a dark wall that will take it. It suits a living room, a study, or a space with dark furniture.

Success sizes for dark and light walls
Success is a square painting in 14 sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Its dark indigo and copper ground wants either a bright room or a dark wall. Above a 240 cm corner sofa choose 160 x 160 cm, over a 180 cm dark sideboard 120 x 120 cm, and above a 130 cm desk in a study 90 x 90 cm – each about two thirds of the furniture’s width. In a foyer, Success fits at 70 x 70 cm.
The pale central form of Success stands several millimetres proud of the canvas in places, because it is hand-painted with a spatula and is not a print. Choosing YES under Stretcher means Success arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. No frame comes with the indigo canvas, and its Frame menu starts at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
Buyer questions about Success
Which size of Success suits the wall above a desk?
Above a 130 cm desk we suggest 90 x 90 cm, so the indigo painting stays narrower than the desk.
Is Success a print?
No. You can feel the thick deposits of the pale form and the fine incisions across Success, because it is hand-painted on canvas.
How long does delivery of Success take?
15–45 days for all 14 square sizes of the indigo and copper painting.
Can I get Success in a size that is not in the menu?
Yes, if you need a measurement outside 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm, ask us about a painting made to order.
