Description
Winter Plain – a white slab and a black band with a kink
Sharp winter geometry in a landscape format: beneath a flat grey sky lies a wide white horizontal slab, cut below half height across the full width by an almost black band, and the bottom of the canvas is closed by a vast field of dark, mottled charcoal grey.
Technique & Texture
The white slab has two characters: its left third is greyish white with wavy lines of snowdrifts, the rest a smooth, bright slab with fine speckles. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – beneath the left end of the slab a dark grey wedge bites in, physically underpinning the layer.
The Motif
The scene’s only diagonal is the kink: right of centre, the black band’s lower edge breaks downward in the shape of the letter V, shaking the rigid geometry for a moment – like a crack in ice. The dark lower field is not black but mottled charcoal grey, lighter than the band, stitched together from textured patches.
Styling & Placement
An austere, calm wall art for offices, living rooms and dining rooms of Scandinavian character; the landscape format and the horizontal orders calm like a view over a snowy plain.

Winter Plain in a landscape format
Winter Plain is a landscape canvas in 15 sizes, from 50 x 40 to 240 x 170 cm. The white slab and kinked black band of Winter Plain suit a sofa, bed or hallway bench. Over a 200 cm sofa, 130 x 100 cm covers about two thirds of the width, 110 x 78 or 120 x 90 cm suits a bed 160–180 cm wide, and a 150 cm bench 100 x 75 cm. The first photograph shows the painting in a light frame above a black radiator and a wooden bench, and the second photograph a closer view with plant leaves in front.
Choose YES in the Stretcher menu and Winter Plain arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for Winter Plain the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The wavy drift lines, the speckled slab and the mottled grey base are hand-painted, so Winter Plain is not a print.
