Originals in this selection, Acrylic on canvas, Expressive and gestural, 2,000 to 5,000 euro.
Formats from 100 x 80 to 165 x 170 cm.
Marks that stay put
Acrylic makes the gesture readable fast: whatever swing the arm gave is fixed seconds later, drips stay drips, splashes keep their shape. If you want gestural acrylic paintings on canvas for sale from 2,000 to 5,000 euro, expect pictures with clear traces that are easy to read.
Acrylic can be thinned, poured, worked with a spray bottle or a squeegee. In gestural pieces you often see a sequence: translucent stains first, forceful lines on top, splashes last. The order of actions can be read right in the picture. The same goes for heavily thinned paint, which seeps into the surface as a stain or run and sits there like a shadow.

Color choice and room
Strong contrasts such as black with red or blue with yellow carry over long distances. In rooms with plenty of wood or exposed concrete they work as a deliberate accent.
Technical notes
Since acrylic dries water resistant, the surfaces tolerate changes in climate. Care still pays off: ask about UV varnish, painted edges and the ground. Two hooks are usually enough for hanging, since acrylic on canvas is comparatively light.
