Monica Tillman built this piece one knife stroke at a time. Thick slabs of plaster-white, bone and cream overlap like pieces of a broken wall, each one pressed flat and dragged so the paint leaves fine ridges and curled edges. Between them, cool slate gray-blue fills the gaps, and a few hairline cracks wander down the surface from top to bottom.
Look closer and you'll find a thin seam of warm beige and a faint trace of rust where the knife scraped the paint down to almost nothing. It's vertical textured wall art with real depth, the kind of palette knife abstract art that reads like weathered plaster from across the room and like a topography map up close.
If you love wabi sabi wall art, quiet imperfection and surfaces that show how they were made, this one is for you. The soft neutrals sit easily in a japandi wall art scheme or any home built around linen, oak and stone.
As long vertical wall art, it fits the spots most pieces can't: a narrow wall beside a doorway, the space between two windows, the end of a hallway or above a slim console. This neutral textured wall art is printed as canvas wall art that keeps every ridge and crack of the original sharp and true.
