Originals in this selection, Material Charcoal, 2,000 to 5,000 euro.
Formats from 160 x 120 to 165 x 170 cm.
Reduction with force
Pictures with charcoal in the 2,000 to 5,000 euro tier show how much weight a reduced material can carry. Paintings with charcoal are for sale here, as large-format drawings on canvas or as multi-layered work.
With charcoal alone or a little color, drama can be built: light beside dark, density beside emptiness. At large format this feels almost architectural. The matte surface stays calm even when the motif is forceful. At this size it pays to think about the frame early, so the picture does not look lost.

What 2,000 to 5,000 euro means
At this level, large-format works and established positions are common among originals. Technically there are pieces in acrylic on canvas, and styles such as Abstract, Expressive and gestural or Graphic, illustrative and typographic.
Protection and place
Large charcoal works need care: fixative, varnish or glass, plus a wall away from heating and sun. A museum frame with spacing protects the surface. Ask about the build-up of the layers.
