Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 2005 by Raoul De Keyser shows a quiet field with a few marks laid across it. The shapes rest on a light ground and stay close to the edge. The work belongs to postwar abstract painting, where a simple arrangement of colour and line holds the picture.

The print sits on matte paper, so the soft tones stay even and do not shine under a lamp. You can hang it with a light frame on a dark wall, or a dark frame on a pale wall. The fine art print keeps the flat look of the original sheet.

It sits on the wall beside a wooden desk in a study. From the doorway you see the broad field first, then the small marks when you pass by. The frame follows the wood of the shelf.
