Description
paintings – Stylized City – a red square on grey quiet
Wall art lodges rectangles of different sizes in a low band across the middle of the canvas and sets a large red square among them — modern painting whose whole event happens along one horizontal.
Technique and texture
The planes are painted smooth and even with no visible stroke, like coloured paper. The black lines are drawn with a fine tip and are deliberately restless — they break off, double back and run past edges. White strokes are laid on dry and behave like chalk over a smooth ground.
The motif
The rectangles are placed so their edges touch without ever aligning into a straight line. Beside a yellow-orange trapezium two circles appear, one yellow-green and one orange, and they take the strictness out of the row. The left half of the ground is a saturated red-orange and the right a soft grey, and the change between them is not an edge but a dispersal, like mist.
Setting and placement
A wide landscape proportion with half of it held in quiet grey lets a wall breathe instead of filling it. Above a long chest or a desk the band lines up with the horizontal of the furniture.

Choose the size that suits your wall.
Stylized City – choosing the size
The painting Stylized City has 16 landscape sizes, from 60 x 40 to 260 x 170 cm. Its band of rectangles with the red square should run about two thirds of the furniture below, so over a 150 cm chest or sideboard we suggest 100 x 65 cm, and over a 120 cm desk 80 x 53 cm. For a 200 cm sofa pick 130 x 85 or 140 x 93 cm, and for a 160–180 cm bed 110 x 73 or 120 x 80 cm.
The red-orange and grey halves are hand-painted, as are the restless black lines and the chalk-like white strokes, so nothing here is printed. Choose YES under Stretcher and the city with the red square arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang at once. A frame is your call in the Frame menu, which begins at Without frame. Stylized City is delivered in 15–45 days.
