Why contemporary
Art that matches the room it was made for
Most homes built or renovated in the last decade are spare, and spare rooms need art that is spare too.
Contemporary wall art is doing something different from a landscape or a reproduction. It assumes clean lines, large windows and a restrained palette, and it is composed to sit inside that rather than decorate it. In a room with concrete, pale timber and very little pattern, an older style of picture can look stranded.
Go large and go singular. Contemporary work depends on negative space, so one big piece on an otherwise empty wall is the whole point. Filling the wall defeats it.

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.
