About the Artwork

Colette Mercer stood at the top floor and looked straight down. This piece of stairwell art follows a square switchback stair as it turns flight after flight around an open rectangular well, each landing a little smaller, until the center drops into solid black. Every handrail and stringer edge picks up a thin ridge of pale light.

It's painted entirely with a palette knife in grays, charcoal and cream. The paint sits thick and cracked on the walls, sharp and clean along the rails, so the stair reads as both a real building and a set of nested frames. It works as architectural wall art, and it leans toward abstract staircase art once you step back and see the squares repeating inward.

This is for people who notice buildings: the architect, the old-house lover, anyone who has paused on a landing and looked over the rail. If you like geometric architecture wall art with some texture and quiet drama to it, this one holds up to a long look.

Hang this canvas wall art at the end of a corridor as hallway wall art, or let it serve as stair landing wall decor where the real steps turn. It also makes strong entryway canvas art, giving a first-glance sense of depth in a small space. The neutral palette sits easily with modern, industrial or classic rooms.

After fifteen years reading teleprompters, I needed something real to focus on. My neighbor's cat would sit perfectly still in afternoon light, and I started sketching her during lunch breaks. Now I spend mornings painting animals before the world wakes up.
