Attitude instead of recipe
Gestural painting knows no fixed technique, only an attitude: the hand leads, the picture follows. Expressive painting in the 500 to 1,000 euro range for sale does not tie you to oil, acrylic, or mixed forms.
Gestural works arise from impulse, not from a plan. Some painters use a broom and a sponge, others the flat of the hand. The results are traces you can almost feel, with no motif but full of mood. A photo in raking light shows relief and structure.

A wall-filling effect
Gestural pictures need space so they can breathe. A free wall, little decoration, and even light all help. If your furniture has clear colors, you can pick up a contrasting tone from the picture. A single main photo can mislead, so several shots help.
Ask for details
Because the technique is open, paint type, ground, varnish, and year should be given. Ask for close-up photos if texture matters to you. With larger formats, weight matters for the hanging too. The signature sometimes reveals how the picture is meant to hang.
