About this original palette knife painting

The palette knife work builds the image from slabs of paint rather than lines. Up close you can read the direction of every pull; from a distance those marks resolve into a confident, architectural composition.

There is a great deal of intentional space in the composition, the negative area that lets the marks read as art rather than pattern.

Where Meridian Plane I belongs

This piece suits a studio loft particularly well, where its high-contrast black and white palette reads as calm and confident against restrained surroundings.

This horizontal canvas measures 40 x 30 cm, a considered scale for studio loft walls and any interior with room to let a single piece of large canvas art breathe. As black and white abstract art it introduces no colour to clash with a changing scheme, which is part of what makes monochrome wall decor so durable.

Materials, finish and care

The linen canvas support and high-gloss varnish finish are chosen to last: artist-grade materials that keep the monochrome contrast crisp for decades.

Bought directly from the studio that made it, the painting reaches you with clear provenance and none of the markups of a long dealer chain.

Caring for your canvas

Keep this original painting out of direct sunlight and damp, dust it gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid sprays or solvents on the surface. Treated well, gallery-quality canvas wall art like this holds its crisp monochrome contrast for decades. Every piece is hand-painted in our Budapest studio and shipped ready to hang, worldwide.

Format, finish and provenance

As original oil painting, this piece is a high gloss painting with varnished canvas art protection, an archival quality art surface on uv resistant canvas that stays true for decades. In format it is contemporary wall art, and it ships as gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang art with framed canvas art neatness on every edge. Bought as gallery direct art, straight from the artist, it is authentic signed art with a certificate of authenticity.

Questions about Meridian Plane I

Is this an original painting or a print?
It is an original, one-of-a-kind painting, hand-finished by the artist and signed. There is exactly one of this work in existence, and it is supplied with a certificate of authenticity that ties it to the title, size and date of creation. We do not sell prints or reproductions of our original canvases.
Does it arrive ready to hang?
Yes. The painting is stretched on stable bars, finished on every edge and fitted for hanging, so in most cases you simply unpack it and put it on the wall. Gallery-wrapped works with painted edges are designed to hang frameless, though a floating frame can be added if you prefer a crisp border.
How do I care for the canvas?
Keep the painting out of direct, prolonged sunlight and away from damp or steamy rooms, and dust it occasionally with a soft, dry brush. Avoid household sprays, water and solvents on the paint surface. Treated this way, an original canvas holds its crisp monochrome contrast for decades.
How is the painting shipped?
The canvas is packed in acid-free materials with corner protection and shipped tracked and insured from our Budapest studio, worldwide. Ready-to-hang pieces travel stretched where size allows; larger works may be sent rolled and can be re-stretched by any framer in minutes. Shipping is arranged individually so the piece arrives in perfect condition.
