The Dupleix multi artwork portrays palm trees in a neat row, against a pale sky and peaceful ocean. This is clearly the lonely boulevard of a coastal city, yet these trees stand between the urban and the wild, caught in place. This image is desaturated to the point of being almost monochrome, so the trees are black and white, almost skeletal. This adds to the feeling of loneliness and makes us see their waving fronds in a new way, as spiky and forlorn things.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Will the colors in this artwork fade if placed near a window?
While modern printing techniques offer significant durability, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can cause any artwork to fade over time. To ensure the desaturated blacks and spiky fronds remain crisp and forlorn as intended, we recommend placing the piece on a wall that receives indirect light. If you are decorating a room with large windows, consider using UV-filtering window treatments to protect your wall decor and other soft furnishings.
What decor style works best with monochrome photography?
Monochrome and desaturated photography are hallmarks of contemporary and minimalist design. The stark, skeletal appearance of the palm trees in this piece provides a sophisticated, urban edge that pairs exceptionally well with modern furniture featuring clean lines. Its neutral palette—ranging from deep blacks to pale sky tones—allows it to integrate seamlessly into rooms with gray, navy, or white color schemes without clashing with existing upholstery.
Can this 60-inch artwork be hung in a small apartment?
Yes, large-scale art can actually make a small space feel larger by providing a single, dramatic focal point that draws the eye across the room. Because this piece is only 1.5 inches deep, it maintains a slim profile that won't protrude awkwardly into narrow walkways or smaller urban living areas. Hanging it centered over a bed or a console table can help define a specific zone within a studio or open-plan layout.
How should I clean and maintain this photography print?
To preserve the clarity and desaturated tones of the image, our care guidelines recommend dusting the surface regularly with a clean, dry, soft cloth or a static duster. Avoid using water, glass cleaners, or any chemical solvents, as moisture can compromise the print material over time. For households in humid or coastal climates, ensuring the art is hung in a climate-controlled environment will help prevent any potential warping or moisture damage.
Is this horizontal artwork suitable for a coastal-themed home?
Absolutely. While the image is desaturated to an almost black-and-white finish, the subject matter—palm trees against a peaceful ocean backdrop—is a perfect fit for coastal or "coastal-modern" interiors. It offers a more mature, contemplative take on traditional seaside decor. Given its 60-inch horizontal orientation, it works beautifully in open-concept coastal homes where it can mimic the horizon line of the ocean itself.
How do I choose the right size artwork for a large wall?
This piece measures 60 inches in width, categorizing it as an oversized statement piece. For a balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule," where the artwork spans approximately two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture below it. At five feet wide, this photography is an ideal anchor for a standard 90-inch sofa or a large dining table, ensuring the art feels intentional rather than lost on a blank wall.
