Description
Yellow Sweep – a fan of force over marble and grey
Four to five massive yellow-gold strokes stacked into a fan: the bundle enters at the top edge and descends in an arc toward the lower left, each stroke a hand-wide impasto ribbon with raised edges, and between them the white opens at the upper left.
Technique & Texture
The tail of the longest stroke reaches deep into the lower right. This is a hand-painted work of art – the ridges of paint are truly raised and in side light throw shadows that give the sweep a third dimension.
The Motif
The upper right corner is covered by a black-and-white marbled field from which black streaks drag into the yellow; the lower left is held by a grey diagonal streaked field with white spatter and one white spill below the centre. Force above, calm below – the sweep has somewhere to fall.
Styling & Placement
An energetic modern painting for living rooms, offices and meeting rooms; the yellow brings optimism, the marble and grey keep it in balance. For rooms that need momentum.

Yellow Sweep: an upright canvas for living rooms and offices
Yellow Sweep is offered in 15 portrait sizes, from 40 x 55 to 200 x 279 cm. For a narrow wall by a door or in an entrance hall choose 50 x 69 or 60 x 83 cm, and for a console 120 cm wide choose 80 x 111 cm, about two thirds of its width. In a meeting room or a stairwell, where the impasto ribbons come alive in side light, choose 110 x 153 or 120 x 167 cm.
The first photograph shows Yellow Sweep in a slim dark frame on the stone floor of a workshop, and the second photograph shows it from the side, where the raised ridges of paint stand out. Choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its yellow-gold fan arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for Yellow Sweep the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery of Yellow Sweep takes 15–45 days. Yellow Sweep is hand-painted in thick impasto ribbons, so this painting is not a print.
