Ribbon Curve 1

One gesture, two surfaces. A wide gold-toned ribbon snakes across the canvas in a long serpentine path, and along its entire length the painter has combed the still-wet medium into tight concentric striations — so the ribbon catches light in fine, parallel grooves the way a sand-comb leaves a beach.

Visual cues include lines, shapes, and texture. The palette is anchored by beige, gold, and white. The composition is vertical.

The minimalism character makes Ribbon Curve 1 a natural fit for a bedroom. It also shows well in a hallway and home office.

In commercial spaces, it suits beauty salon and boutique hotel. A vertical hang reads well above a sideboard or a narrow console.

Color-wise, the piece works with beige, gold, and white. The colors meet at a balanced midpoint, giving the work a contained energy rather than a single direction.

Oil on stretched canvas, brought up by a single painter in continuous sittings. Surface is kept measured and flat, with brushwork that reads as deliberate rather than expressive.

The minimalism character runs through the underpainting, while the lines feel emerges in the surface passes. The painter closes the cycle on Ribbon Curve 1 with standard drying times and a clear final varnish, so the work is built to age well. The vertical stretch keys the canvas tighter at the long edges, which is what holds a tall format true on the wall.

A tall canvas anchors a narrow stretch of wall — beside a stairwell, above an entry table, or alongside a slim cabinet. Leave 30 cm or more of wall on each side; the work asks for room to breathe vertically as well as horizontally. Ribbon Curve 1 suits a bedroom that is built around one piece rather than a collection.

Available sizes: custom. Pick the size to the wall, not the wall to the size. For Ribbon Curve 1, step back twice the canvas height once it’s hung — the brushwork resolves at that distance.
