Open Up Canvas

A single figure stretches both arms overhead against a sage-green ground, with a band of warm rust running along the bottom. Canvas suits the palette: green and brick red held together by pink stripes and cream, all a little deeper on the weave than on paper. There is something open and unguarded about the pose, which gives the piece a calm, optimistic presence. As wall art the upright canvas print fits a narrow wall or a bedroom corner, and it arrives ready to hang. Add a float frame and the shadow gap gives it a gallery-like finish, the more exclusive way to hang the motif.

In a bedroom, the upright canvas could work well above a chair, a chest of drawers or beside the bed. The sage and rust palette pairs nicely with greige walls, linen bedding and warm wood. Left as it is, the canvas reads clean and ready to hang; a float frame adds a shadow gap and a more elevated presence on the wall. Hang it slightly lower than eye level above furniture, so the raised arms have room to breathe.
