You are an Icon Canvas

You are an Icon moves onto canvas with its heavy sans-serif type laid over an oil portrait of a woman in a vast pink crinoline. The weave echoes the original painted surface, so the thick ridges of pink and the black lace read as paint rather than as reproduction. As wall art it has a more elevated, gallery-like presence than a print on paper, and the canvas arrives ready to hang. A float frame gives it a narrow shadow gap and makes it the more exclusive of the two formats. The contrast between romance and flat type survives the change of material intact.

Unframed, the canvas lets the painting run to the edge and keeps the type graphic. A float frame in black holds the words sharp, while warm white lets the pink dress lead. It works in a dressing area, a hallway or above a desk, anywhere the message has someone to read it. Keep what sits around it quiet, since the motif is already loud enough.
