The quiet force of Anne Schwartz abstracts

Allow 21 to 28 days, because your painting is started only once you order.

Why these abstracts

Textured abstracts need raking light and room to breathe

Flat-on lighting kills impasto; light that travels across the surface is what makes these paintings look alive.

People choose an abstract for colour and then hang it where the light hits it square on, which flattens the paint to a photograph of itself. These are built in real oil, with ridges and knife marks you can feel. Hang one where daylight or a wall-washer comes in at an angle and the surface changes through the day. Move the same canvas six feet and it becomes a different picture.

Go bigger than feels safe. Above a three-seater sofa, aim for a canvas roughly two-thirds the sofa's width, with the centre about 145cm off the floor and a hand's width of wall between frame and cushions. Restrained palettes of bone, ash and ochre sit well against white, limewash and warm timber. What fails is a small canvas floating on a big empty wall, and busy patterned wallpaper behind an already busy surface.

Questions people ask

Is this a print or a real painting?

A real painting. Every piece is hand-painted in oils on canvas by a professional artist. Nothing here is printed, and nothing is a print with paint dabbed on top.

How close is it to the original?

Very. Our artists work from high-resolution references of the original and match composition, colour and brushwork. Because it is painted by hand, no two are identical, which is rather the point.

What sizes can I order?

Seven standard sizes, from 60 × 50cm up to 200 × 135cm, and custom sizes on request. Open the size guide on any painting to see each size to scale next to a sofa.

Framed or unframed?

Your choice at checkout: stretched and ready to hang, rolled in a tube, or framed in floating, classic or ornate frames. A floating frame adds a few centimetres each side; an ornate frame adds roughly 8 to 12cm.

How long does it take?

21 to 28 days, because it is painted to order. Delivery is free and tracked anywhere in Australia.

What if I don't love it?

Thirty-day money-back guarantee. Tell us within thirty days of delivery and we will make it right or refund you.
