Originals in this selection, Expressive and gestural, Metal, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Formats from 80 x 80 to 80 x 100 cm.
Gestures that cut in
Where gestural painting meets metal, sweeps and scratches stay standing as relief. Expressive mixed media with metal from 1,000 to 2,000 euro is for sale if you look for force rather than decor.
On sheet metal you can scrape with a spatula, etch with acid or wipe paint away, and every action leaves a trace. Gestural artists use that: they write with a broad brush, scrape layers free and let the bare ground flash through in places.

Wall size and hanging
In the 1,000 to 2,000 euro range, such works are often large enough for gesture and format to work together. A sheet with a frame edge or wooden support hangs most securely. Ask about weight and the type of hanging before you pick the wall.
Light and surroundings
Metal reflects contrasts, so it needs calm neighbors. A plain white or gray wall lets gestures read better than a pattern. Light from the side emphasizes the furrows. Direct sun alters open metals and pigments, so a spot in half shade makes sense.
