Description
Gold in Grey – a geological cross-section with two golden veins
An upright geological cross-section in greys with two golden veins of different characters: a thin, precise gold line runs the full width at a good quarter of the height, while a broad, molten gold band lies mid-canvas – irregular, heavy relief between dark seams.
Technique & Texture
The layers stack like rock strata: a smooth light-grey field on top, a cracked silver-white crust beneath the thin line, a second cracked grey layer with black veins beneath the broad band. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – each layer has its own thickness and its own relief.
The Motif
The broad gold band is offset: the left mass sits higher, the right strip lower, which gives the cross-section a tectonic tension. At the bottom, the canvas is closed by an almost black textured base with barely visible white horizontal scratches – the foundation on which all the layers rest.
Styling & Placement
Decorative wall wall art for living rooms, offices and entrance halls with concrete or grey walls; the upright format emphasises the layering, and the gold turns the greys into something precious.

Gold in Grey on your wall: sizes and hanging
Gold in Grey is painted in 13 upright sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 270 cm. Its width should be about two thirds of the furniture below or beside it: a narrow entrance-hall wall takes 50 x 75 cm, a console 60 x 90 cm, a tall cabinet 80 x 120 cm, and a stairwell 120 x 180 cm, giving both golden veins height. Pick YES under Stretcher and the grey and gold canvas comes on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for this geological cross-section is chosen in the Frame menu, which opens at Without frame, and the gold-veined strata arrive in 15–45 days.
The first photograph is a close-up of the cracked silver-white crust above the near-black base, and the second photograph shows the painting in an optional dark frame on a plaster wall above a low cream sofa. Gold in Grey is hand-painted in relief layers on canvas, not printed.
Questions about Gold in Grey
Which size of Gold in Grey suits a stairwell wall?
Take 120 x 180 or 130 x 195 cm beside a staircase, so both gold bands read from the bottom step.
Does the grey and gold cross-section come with a frame?
Only if you choose one in the Frame menu; otherwise the gold-veined canvas arrives unframed.
Is the relief of the gold veins printed?
No, the gold band and the cracked grey layers are hand-painted on canvas, and you can feel the relief.
Can I order Gold in Grey in a size outside the 13 listed?
Yes, for another ratio or a taller wall write to us through the paintings made to order page and we adapt the cross-section.
