Description from the seller
Ua N-55 – Abstract Expressionist Landscape by Retne (XXL)
An expansive abstract landscape built on rhythm, repetition, and energetic dispersion. The composition unfolds as a vibrant field of movement, where cascading lines and spontaneous splashes form a dense visual atmosphere. Ua N-55 evokes the sensation of a living environment — a landscape experienced emotionally rather than geographically.
The painting is driven by expressive dripping, splattering, and layered gestures, creating a sense of depth and continuous motion across the surface. The multicolour palette interacts dynamically with the neutral ground, allowing each colour accent to vibrate within the composition. This large-scale work functions as an immersive visual field, designed to energize contemporary interiors and dominate space through scale and intensity.
Important note: This artwork is sold unmounted (without a stretcher frame) and will be shipped rolled. This ensures safe international delivery and allows the collector to stretch the canvas to their preferred specifications after arrival.
Signed on the front and back. Certificate of Authenticity included and hand-signed by the artist – confirming originality and authorship.
Technical Details
Canvas size: 108 × 155 cm (unmounted, with margins for stretching)
Recommended stretcher frame: approx. 98 × 145 cm
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Main colours: Multicolour composition (Blue, Yellow, Red, Pink, Green, Black, White)
Canvas Edges & Composition
The composition extends organically beyond the central field, allowing flexibility during stretching. Once mounted, the painting maintains its balance and intensity without the need for additional framing.
Packaging & Shipping
The artwork will be professionally packed for international shipping. It is protected with acid-free paper, soft foam wrap, and multiple layers of reinforced plastic. The canvas is rolled and secured inside a heavy-duty cardboard tube, placed into a rectangular box with extra padding for maximum protection.
Each parcel is clearly marked FRAGILE – HANDLE WITH CARE, ensuring safe worldwide delivery.
Important: Please wait to order a stretcher frame until the artwork arrives to ensure precise measurements.
