Elevate your space with our Black and White Canvas Art

Black and white wall art suits almost any room because it never fights the color around it. This collection pulls monochrome pieces from across the shop: city skylines and street scenes, a bronze lion and a bison, and a large group of abstracts in black, white, grey and silver. A few add a single warm accent of gold or coral, enough to tie them to brass, wood or a favorite pillow.

Cities in monochrome

Our best-selling piece in this collection is Chicago Rainy Streets in Monochrome: headlights and umbrellas on wet pavement, with traffic signals glowing amber. New York City Black and White Skyline hangs a full moon over Manhattan, the towers doubled in the water below, and Chicago Downtown Black & White looks down on the Willis Tower and Lake Michigan. San Francisco Black and White Skyline grounds the city with the Golden Gate Bridge, Los Angeles Black and White Cityscape frames distant towers with palm trees, and Las Vegas Black and White Skyline reduces the towers to charcoal with gold-leaf accents. Find more cities in skyline wall art.

Statues and wildlife

Chicago Lions at the Art Institute shows the bronze lion’s flowing mane and muscular frame in crisp detail. Classic Black and White Buffalo stands in tall prairie grass, head turned toward you, every part of the shaggy coat drawn out.

Black and white abstracts

Timeless Geometric Fluidity Black and White Abstract overlaps rings, checkerboard patterns and clean vertical lines, and Urban Energy Black and White Abstract breaks a street scene into sharp, overlapping planes. Elegant Ripples Black and Grey Abstract runs charcoal and grey bands like layers of rock, with veins of bronze and cream, while Elegant Flow Grey and White Abstract twists finely ridged ribbons in soft grey and warm white. See more in black and white abstract wall art.

Decorating with black and white

  • Modern living room: a large monochrome skyline keeps the focus on shape and light.
  • Gallery wall: mix a city, an animal and an abstract; the shared palette holds the group together.
  • Office or study: grey and silver abstracts stay calm behind a desk.
  • Framing: an optional black floater frame sharpens the contrast, while natural wood warms it up.

For softer greys, browse grey and white abstract art, or explore the New York City and Chicago collections.

What does black and white wall art go with?

Almost anything, which is why it works in rooms that change over time. Monochrome art sits well with grey or white walls, warm wood, brass and leather, and it lets colorful pillows or rugs stand out. Pieces with a touch of gold, such as Las Vegas Black and White Skyline, pick up brass fixtures.

Do you have black and white city skylines?

Yes. New York City Black and White Skyline puts a full moon over Manhattan, and you will also find San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge, Los Angeles framed by palms, Toronto reflected in Lake Ontario, New Orleans with its cathedral, Las Vegas and two views of Chicago, one from above and one in the rain.

Which black and white abstracts suit a bedroom?

For a calm bedroom, choose the softer greys: Interwoven Serenity Grey and White Abstract, Elegant Flow Grey and White Abstract and Serene Landscape Grey Abstract keep the contrast gentle. The bolder black pieces, such as Elegant Vortex Swirl Black Abstract, suit a dark accent wall or a dramatic headboard.

How do I build a black and white gallery wall?

Mix subjects and keep the palette: a skyline, an animal such as Classic Black and White Buffalo and one or two abstracts. Use one large anchor piece with smaller canvases around it, keep 2 to 4 inches between them, and line up the center of the group at about 57 to 60 inches from the floor.
