Originals in this selection, Expressive and gestural, Material Acrylic, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Formats from 50 x 120 to 100 x 80 cm.
Gestures in layers
The brush circles, strikes, scratches, and the picture holds the movement as if it had only just happened. Expressive mixed media works with acrylic are for sale in this price band for readers who want gesture on a larger scale.
Large formats allow painting with the whole arm. Acrylic dries fast enough that one swing can become the next without smearing what lies beneath. Chalk, ink and paper set breaks in which the rhythm stumbles and runs on.

Strong wall, little competition
Gestural pictures dominate. Give them space, ideally a wall without shelves or mirrors. A slim black or wooden frame holds the edge together while the surface stays free. If you waver between several gestural pictures, ask yourself which movement you would most like to see daily: circling, striking, flowing? The answer usually leads straight to the right piece.
To settle
With gestural work the back is revealing: is the canvas tightly stretched, are the edges clean? Ask for dimensions, depth and hanging method, and ask about varnish.
