Life In The City Artwork

Yes, this cityscape print comes ready to hang right out of the box with mounting hardware included. For a professional, gallery-like display, we recommend hanging the artwork so that its center point is approximately 57 inches from the floor. This "57-inch rule" aligns the art with the average human eye level, making it a natural focal point for guests in a living room or office.

To maintain the vibrant 9-color ink finish, our expertise suggests dusting the canvas regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. It is important to avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the ink and the protective coating. For longevity, we recommend hanging the artwork away from direct, consistent sunlight to prevent UV-induced fading and avoiding high-humidity environments like bathrooms to protect the wooden stretcher bars.

This artwork measures 12" wide by 24" high, making it a "portrait" or vertical orientation. When hanging art above furniture like a console or side table, interior designers often suggest the "2/3 rule," where the piece spans approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. Given its compact 12-inch width, this piece is ideally suited for narrow wall sections, pillars, or as a vertical anchor within a larger gallery wall.

To provide a high-fidelity visual experience, this artwork is produced using genuine high-end printing technology with nine colors of ink, which achieves superior depth and color accuracy compared to standard four-color prints. For long-term durability, the canvas is professionally gallery-wrapped around 1.5" structurally engineered stretcher bars. These bars are specifically designed to be warp-resistant, ensuring the frame maintains its structural integrity and the canvas stays taut over time.

This artwork is an excellent choice for urban apartment living. Its vertical orientation draws the eye upward, which can help create the illusion of higher ceilings in smaller rooms. The 12-inch width is specifically well-suited for tight spaces common in city floor plans, such as entryways, hallways, or the wall space between windows, allowing you to add a sophisticated urban vibe without the need for an expansive wall.

Featuring a primary palette of gray with a gold-colored frame, this artwork is highly versatile for casual and modern interiors. It pairs beautifully with gray, navy, or white upholstered sofas. The subtle gold frame provides a touch of warmth that can be highlighted by coordinating with gold-toned metallic accents, such as floor lamps, decorative vases, or curtain rods, to create a cohesive and intentional room design.
