Description
Grey Pilasters – an architecture of verticals with a golden ribbon
An upright architectural composition of vertical bands: at the left edge stands a dark textured grey column, and one column in – not on the edge itself – a broken golden ribbon falls in torn segments from the top to the lower sixth. The right half is dominated by a wide silver-white cracked pilaster.
Technique & Texture
The greys grade from graphite through mid-grey to almost white; the white pilaster is brightest at its centre, its edges rough and dissolving at the base. This is a hand-painted work of art – cracks and scratches run across all the columns and bind them into one wall.
The Motif
Between the golden ribbon and the white pilaster follow mid-grey columns and a darker grey-blue band, and in the upper part a second, pale golden dusting appears beside it. At the far right, the composition is closed by a dark grey column with a fine web of cracks.
Styling & Placement
An abstract painting for offices, entrance halls and living rooms with an architectural character; the upright format emphasises the rise of the columns, and the golden ribbon gives the greys a single precious vein.

Grey Pilasters: upright sizes for entrance halls and offices
The painting Grey Pilasters is made in 13 upright sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 240 cm. In an entrance hall above a console, the gold ribbon and silver-white pilaster work at 80 x 120 cm, and a narrow wall by a door needs 50 x 67 or 60 x 90 cm. In a stairwell choose 100 x 135 cm, and on a tall office or living-room wall the columns stand out at 120 x 160 or 140 x 190 cm.
The first photograph shows Grey Pilasters unframed on a studio easel, and the second photograph shows it in a dark frame on a brown wall above a black metal table. Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and the canvas with its cracked greys arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for Grey Pilasters is optional, picked in the Frame menu that starts at “Without frame”. Delivery of Grey Pilasters takes 15–45 days. The cracks and gold ribbon are hand-painted, so Grey Pilasters is not a print.
