Nicole Barrett started with three rounded arches lined up like little doorways, each one filled with soft layered black and traced in a thin gold line. Below them, three chevrons stack upward in black, slate gray and a deep blue-charcoal, each edged in the same hand-painted gold. The cream ground keeps its brush texture, with faint carved arcs echoing the shapes.
This piece of art deco wall decor borrows the stepped rhythms of 1920s wall art but paints them in a calm, mid-century way. The gold lines are drawn by hand, a little uneven in places, which keeps the whole thing warm instead of slick. It reads as modern art deco wall art with a quiet, steady pulse.
It suits someone who loves black and gold wall art but wants something softer than high-gloss glam. If you like architecture, clean geometry and a bit of metallic glow, this one will feel right at home with you.
As canvas wall art, it works above a console in an entryway, beside a reading chair, or in a hallway where the upward chevrons can lead the eye. It pairs well with walnut wood, brass lamps and creamy linen.
