Graesen Multi Artwork

To preserve the finish of the solid pine frame, our care guidelines recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, you may use a cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water, ensuring you dry the surface immediately afterward. We advise against using harsh chemical cleaners or glass cleaners on the wood, as these can strip the finish and affect the natural integrity of the pine over time.

To achieve a balanced look, we recommend following the "2/3 rule," where your wall decor spans roughly 60% to 75% of the width of the furniture below it. Measuring 19.5 inches wide, this piece is an ideal scale for placement above a small accent cabinet, a narrow entryway table, or as a central element in a curated gallery wall. For larger walls, consider flanking it with sconces to extend its visual footprint and create a cohesive focal point.

For most living areas and hallways, we recommend the "57-inch rule" used by galleries and museums. This involves hanging the artwork so that its vertical center—the midpoint of its 27.5-inch height—is 57 to 60 inches from the floor. This places the intricate grid pattern and shadowed tones at a natural eye level, ensuring the depth and dimension of the collage-like squares are fully appreciated by your guests.

This piece is expertly finished with a frame made from solid pine. Unlike composite materials, solid pine provides a natural, sturdy foundation that is resistant to the typical wear of home environments. The artwork itself is inspired by the Dadaist movement and the collage techniques of Ellsworth Kelly, featuring a neutral beige and tan palette that offers a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic suitable for high-end interior designs.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this specific piece. Drawing inspiration from Ellsworth Kelly's "Cité," where ink strokes were cut and randomly recomposed, this artwork invites you to engage with its Dadaist heritage. While the solid pine frame provides the structure, the assembly process allows the irregular shapes and neutral tones to come together in their final, remarkable abstract form.

Based on our design expertise, this artwork’s neutral beige and brown palette makes it exceptionally versatile. It pairs beautifully with "earth-toned" furniture—such as leather sofas in tan or chocolate—to create a warm, grounded atmosphere. For a more modern look, try placing it against a light gray or cream wall; the shadowed tones in the artwork will provide a subtle contrast that draws the eye without overwhelming a minimalist space.
