This is the right half of Rebecca Lyons' rust ribbon diptych. The thick band of rust enters from the left edge at mid-height, then sweeps down and settles into a wide terracotta pool near the lower right. Behind it, a layered ground of cocoa streaks and soft cream gives the color room to breathe.
Rebecca builds the surface with a palette knife, so the paint sits up off the canvas in ridges, scrapes and fine cracks. Thin drips run down from the ribbon into the pale ground below. It reads like weathered plaster or sunbaked clay, and it has the quiet, imperfect feel of wabi sabi wall art. As earth tone canvas wall art, it brings warmth without loud color.
It suits anyone who likes organic modern wall art, natural materials and calm rooms with a little grit. Hang it beside the left panel to complete the flow of the ribbon, or let it stand alone as a piece of earth tone abstract wall art. If you have been looking for plaster texture wall art or terracotta abstract wall art with real depth, this one delivers.
Picture it over a linen sofa, above a walnut console, or in a bedroom with clay pots and wool throws. This canvas wall art pairs well with warm wood, stone and cream walls.
