Originals in this selection, Bas-relief, 2,000 to 5,000 euro.
Formats from 52 x 43 to 80 x 80 cm.
Wood, surface, shadow
A mixed media bas-relief builds a picture into depth without becoming sculpture. You can buy bas-reliefs for sale from 2,000 to 5,000 euro here, often in an abstract formal language and with wood.
Wood suits relief because it can be cut, layered, painted and burned. Paint, lacquer or pigment sit on the panels, beside them a piece of metal or plaster. The play of planes and joints only becomes fully legible in raking light.

The right wall
A relief of this size weighs a fair amount and needs a load-bearing wall and suitable anchors. Plan space to the side for the cast shadow and keep clear of furniture someone might lean against.
Details for buyers
Decisive are details on depth, weight, hanging and surface protection. With wood, the question of room climate matters, because strong swings make it move. Good descriptions say whether several parts are included.
