Originals in this selection, Geometry, Oil pastels, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Formats from 80 x 60 to 60 x 90 cm.
Strictness that breathes
Circle, square, grid, angle: geometry reduces a picture to order, and oil pastel shows how sensual that can be. Geometric mixed media works with oil pastel are for sale in this price band for those who want clarity combined with color effect.
With oil pastel a surface can never be filled perfectly smooth: the chalk leaves a light grain, and edges deviate slightly. That is precisely what makes geometric sheets lively, as they feel neither mechanical nor cold. In this price band you often find sheets in which a single design is played through in several variants. If you like series, ask about matching formats and identical paper types.

Ruler and stencil
Many artists work with a ruler, tape or stencil to create sharp edges. Mixed technique adds ink, acrylic or paper. Look at corners and intersections, because that is where precision shows.
On the wall
Geometric sheets work in rows and groups. Precise gaps and matching frames raise the effect. A spirit level helps so the order in the picture continues into the room.
