Oskar 5 — Fine Art

Oskar 5 - 2005 shows a soft field of grey and white with a few dark marks placed in the lower half. The marks look like quick pencil strokes, each one sitting against the quiet tone around it. Raoul De Keyser often worked this way, letting simple signs rest on a plain ground.

You get a fine art print that arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger already fitted to the back. The hanger goes straight onto a nail or screw, so the sheet goes up on the wall without a separate frame.

In a bedroom, the picture sits on the wall above the bed. From the doorway the pale field reads first, then the dark marks come into view as you step closer. The quiet tones match the low morning light that falls across the floor.
