Description
Blossom in Red I – one colour through all its grades
Wall art banks the same block form outward from a dark core in nothing but reds — coral, carmine, burgundy and a brown so deep it is nearly black — abstract painting that sets itself the hardest version of the problem, and no other colour to help it.
Technique and texture
A stiff blade laid the blocks in single presses and lifted at the edges, so each one casts a shadow onto its neighbour. Because every tone is related, the form is not legible from colour contrast at all; relief and shadow are carrying it alone. The core is the deepest point, built from several overlapping layers.
The motif
The outer rings are larger and further apart, the inner ones tighter, so the shape appears to be opening outward rather than closing in. A few blocks are turned aside and break the otherwise regular beat. The edge of the canvas does not finish the form — the last blocks continue past all four sides.
Setting and placement
A picture that is one colour throughout will take over the temperature of a room, so give it a white or grey wall and leave space around it. Near to, the relief is the whole event; from across the room the ring structure is what resolves.

Blossom in Red I: a wide canvas above sofa, bed and table
Blossom in Red I is painted in 19 landscape sizes, from 60 x 30 to 340 x 170 cm. Let the canvas with its red rings of blocks around a dark core cover about two thirds of the furniture width below: 150 x 75 cm over a 220 cm sofa, 120 x 60 cm above a 180 cm bed, 110 x 55 cm over a 160 cm dining table, and 100 x 50 cm above a 150 cm sideboard. A long hallway takes 200 x 100 cm.
Choose YES under Stretcher and the coral and burgundy canvas arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Blossom in Red I has a frame only if you add one, because the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Give this one-colour red painting a white or grey wall. Each block is laid with a stiff blade in a single press and hand-painted, so Blossom in Red I is not a print.
