Two boomerang shapes meet at their elbows here, one in deep navy and one in burnt orange, painted in thick, confident strokes you can follow with your eye. A short trail of five cobalt dots drifts down beside them, like something just tossed into the air. It's navy and orange wall art with a playful, retro bounce.
Leo Hartwell kept the background a soft, brushy cream, so the texture of the paint shows through and the shapes feel handmade rather than printed flat. It reads like a hand painted abstract canvas from a 1950s living room, simple and a little bit witty.
This piece suits anyone who loves mid century modern wall art but wants something quieter than a busy pattern. If you lean toward minimalist abstract wall art and navy and cream wall art, the warm orange gives it just enough spark without taking over.
The tall format makes it a natural vertical abstract wall art pick for a narrow wall, a hallway, or beside a walnut credenza. It also works as abstract art above bed in a guest room. Printed as canvas wall art, it pairs well with other pieces from the Navy Mid-Century Shapes collection.
