AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller



Classic for the urban collection, this snapshot of Kyoto’s intricate urban design is painted in a semi abstract style.
This dynamic urban scene captures the essence of city life with remarkable vitality, presenting an attractive opportunity for discerning art collectors.

The interplay of light is masterfully handled, as the hues illuminate the structure, suggesting a city in constant motion, alive with the hum of daily activity. The reflections on the damp pavement not only enhance the visual depth but also evoke a sense of fluidity and movement, as if the viewer can almost hear the footsteps rushing by and feel the pulse of urbanity.

For the passionate of the city art collector, this piece is a portrayal of architecture and street life opening the possibility of nuanced commentary about the energetic exchange between individuals and their environment. It invites reflection on the intersection of solitude and community within urban spaces.
Collecting such an artwork means a sure acquisition that speaks not only to aesthetic taste but also to cultural insight.

The canvas is painted with high quality acrylics on 70% cotton canvas, signed on verso and shipped unmounted and without stretchers, rolled up in a cardboard tube, with certificate of authenticity.

Seller's Story

Note for potential art collectors: If you are considering collecting art from Prettaugallery, we recommend taking the following points into account: 1. Only the canvases are shipped; the frames are specially made from solid wood for studio use. Therefore, you will need to install the canvas on an appropriate frame yourself. 2. After stretching the canvas on the chassis, we recommend applying a layer of transparent varnish for acrylics and oil. This will protect the canvas and enhance the colors. 3. The lighting effects you may observe on phone or computer screens enhance the optical reflectivity properties. However, the canvas will display a less vibrant image compared to what a backlit screen can provide, resulting in a reduction of contrast and color saturation. 4. The artworks offered are not reproductions or giclées; they are complex compositions of layers, shadows, transparencies and nuances of sfumato. Reproducing certain details in photography can sometimes be challenging. Feel free to contact the seller if you have specific questions about a piece. 5. Considering art valuation a complex process, encompassing an artist's significance, history, the quality and uniqueness of their work and their rate in the broader market, the median estimated value of Prettau's artworks has acquired an official recognition having a stable reference point, as agreed rate. For more insights into Prettau’s valuation you can check I-CAC index of valuation. Taking these recommendations into account will help you fully appreciate the artworks you acquire and maintain their beauty over time. Enjoy collecting! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Prettau is an artist whose work is influenced by the traditional rules of descriptive geometry in architectural drawing (her formal profession), combined with an artistic interpretation of the urban environment capable of conveying a certain poetic essence. Through a unique technique, her pictorial style has transformed the use of traditional brushes by incorporating alternative tools commonly found in technical drawing, such as graduated rulers and geometric calculations of conical perspective. Starting with ephemeral solo exhibitions in alternative spaces in Florence or Brussels, and progressing to major art biennales and fairs in Montreux, Paris, Monaco, Rotterdam, Rome, New York and more, Prettau has gradually established herself in the world of contemporary art. Prettau's semi-abstract paintings have garnered increasing attention and appreciation, recognized for their distinct style and approach. The growing popularity and appeal of Prettau's paintings have transcended borders, drawing the interest of collectors worldwide. Their ability to capture the essence of prominent urban subjects with a semi-abstract approach has resonated with art enthusiasts, making her works sought-after and valued additions to private collections.
