About this original palette knife painting

Every mark on this canvas was laid with a palette knife, in broad decisive strokes that a brush cannot match. The result is a surface of clean planes and sharp ridges, each one a commitment left visible.

Nothing in the composition is accidental. Each passage was adjusted against the last until the balance held, then the artist stopped.

Where Ivory Current No. 11 No. 2 belongs

A dining room is the natural home for a canvas like this, though it travels happily to any wall with the space to let it breathe.

This diptych canvas measures 2 panels, 60 x 60 cm each (120 x 60 cm overall), a considered scale for dining room walls and any interior with room to let a single piece of large canvas art breathe. As black and white abstract art it introduces no colour to clash with a changing scheme, which is part of what makes monochrome wall decor so durable.

Materials, finish and care

The work is painted on gallery-wrapped cotton canvas and finished with a matte surface, then stretched on stable bars and finished cleanly on every edge.

Bought directly from the studio that made it, the painting reaches you with clear provenance and none of the markups of a long dealer chain.

Caring for your canvas

Keep this original painting out of direct sunlight and damp, dust it gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid sprays or solvents on the surface. Treated well, gallery-quality canvas wall art like this holds its crisp monochrome contrast for decades. Every piece is hand-painted in our Budapest studio and shipped ready to hang, worldwide.

Format, finish and provenance

As layered mixed media art, this piece is a matte abstract canvas, an archival quality art surface on uv resistant canvas that stays true for decades. In format it is diptych painting and multi panel art, and it ships as gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang art with framed canvas art neatness on every edge. Bought as gallery direct art, straight from the artist, it is authentic signed art with a certificate of authenticity.

Questions about Ivory Current No. 11 No. 2

Does it arrive ready to hang?
Yes. The painting is stretched on stable bars, finished on every edge and fitted for hanging, so in most cases you simply unpack it and put it on the wall. Gallery-wrapped works with painted edges are designed to hang frameless, though a floating frame can be added if you prefer a crisp border.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship original art worldwide from Budapest. Each piece is packed to gallery standard and sent tracked and insured, with any export paperwork handled for you. Delivery times and costs depend on the destination and the size of the work, and we confirm both before dispatch.
How do I care for the canvas?
Keep the painting out of direct, prolonged sunlight and away from damp or steamy rooms, and dust it occasionally with a soft, dry brush. Avoid household sprays, water and solvents on the paint surface. Treated this way, an original canvas holds its crisp monochrome contrast for decades.
How is the painting shipped?
The canvas is packed in acid-free materials with corner protection and shipped tracked and insured from our Budapest studio, worldwide. Ready-to-hang pieces travel stretched where size allows; larger works may be sent rolled and can be re-stretched by any framer in minutes. Shipping is arranged individually so the piece arrives in perfect condition.
