AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A contemporary abstract oil painting designed to introduce energy, rhythm, and architectural depth into urban living spaces.
Description:
"Urban Pulse II" is a contemporary abstract oil painting conceived specifically for modern city apartments. The composition combines vertical movement with sharp linear gestures, creating a visual rhythm that echoes urban structures, night lights, and layered city surfaces. Dominated by deep teal and blue tones, the painting is activated by vivid pink and red accents that cut through the surface. These contrasts bring dynamism and presence while maintaining a controlled, contemporary balance suitable for residential interiors. Despite its expressive mark-making, the work remains cohesive and architectural. It enhances a space without overpowering it, making it particularly effective in apartments where art must coexist with clean lines, curated furniture, and modern materials. This painting works as a statement piece at an intimate scale, offering visual intensity without visual noise.
Materiality & Surface:
->Oil on canvas
->Layered, textured surface with incised and linear marks
->Natural oil sheen enhancing depth and saturation
->Strong tactile presence that reacts subtly to changing light
->The oil medium adds warmth and complexity, complementing urban interiors dominated by concrete, glass, steel, or minimalist finishes.
Photography & Color Accuracy:
Photographed in natural light, without filters or digital enhancement.
Color tones may shift slightly depending on lighting and placement, which is inherent to original oil paintings.
Urban Placement Recommendations. Ideal for:
->Living rooms in city apartments
->Home offices and creative studios
->Bedrooms with modern or industrial aesthetics
->Feature walls in contemporary flats
Recommended Lighting:
->Warm or neutral lighting (3000K–4000K)
->Directional, track, or accent lighting
->Avoid cold, flat overhead lighting
Condition:
->Excellent condition
->Unframed/ Unstretched
-> 3 cm extra for proper stretching
