Originals in this selection, Oil on canvas, Urban and Pop.
Gloss instead of matte
Oil on canvas takes urban and pop out of the poster look and into painting: colors gain gloss, areas gain depth, signs gain touch. You find urban pop oil paintings on canvas for sale if you prefer to see the street with a brush rather than a can.
In oil paint, red, yellow and black look rich and warm. Areas that stay flat in acrylic gain fine modulation in oil. That gives logos and figures an almost classical seriousness, with a wink that shows when you step closer.

Pop icons in the home
An oil painting in a pop look suits bright rooms as well as dark walls. It can shape kitchens, lounge areas or stairwells. Hang it at eye level and let furniture in subdued tones stand beside it.
Looking at details
Ask how thick the paint layers are and how long the work has dried. A cleanly built stretcher and a protected back speak for good craft. Where lettering appears in the picture, also ask about orientation when hanging.
