Gold paintings

Gold paintings are the largest group in the catalogue. They work where the light moves through the day, and stay flatter than expected under pure artificial light.

Why gold is not simply gold

Gold leaf shifts with the viewing angle, gold paint does not.

The difference is obvious in the room and almost never in a photograph.

Which rooms

Restaurants, living rooms, entrances with daylight.

In offices and practices the movement draws attention that is not needed there.

Combinations

Brown, ochre, bronze and cream sit well on gold.

Cool grey next to gold quickly looks out of place. Silver leaf is the answer for that.

In short

Real metal, a warm effect, needs moving light.

Prices from CHF 300.
