Primaries In Motion

Bursting with rhythm and vitality, Primaries In Motion is a celebration of pure color and unrestrained expression. Bold splashes of red, yellow, and blue — the essential building blocks of the painter’s palette — dance across the canvas in lively conversation with streaks of green and accents of white.

Visual cues include color bursts, drips, and overlapping layers. The palette is anchored by blue, green, and red. The composition is square.

Best suited for a guest room, kids’ room, and laundry room. Works well in beauty salon and hair salon.

Pairs naturally with abstract expressionism and action interiors. A square format centres a wall cleanly when the furniture below is symmetrical.

Most of the surface is given over to blue, green, red, white, and yellow. The overall temperature is cool, settling the room into a calm and considered mood.

Each canvas is laid in by one painter from start to finish, in oil on stretched cotton. Layers of oil build up over the underpainting, so the surface carries visible weight and the brushwork stays legible.

The abstract expressionism character runs through the underpainting, while the action feel emerges in the surface passes. For Primaries In Motion, drying and varnishing follow the traditional oil-painting cycle so the finished surface holds without yellowing. The square stretch is keyed evenly on all four sides, which is the format that holds tension most predictably.

Square formats prefer a wall they can occupy alone; gallery groupings work less well with a true square. Allow at least 30 cm of clear wall on each side; the square format prefers air around it. In a guest room, Primaries In Motion reads best on the wall you look at first when entering.

Available sizes: huge. Pick the size to the wall, not the wall to the size. Step back to roughly twice the canvas height to take Primaries In Motion in — that is the distance the painter worked at.
