Not meant to be read at a glanceNon-figurative work asks something of the viewer that a portrait does not. The animal is present in gesture and colour rather than in outline, so the piece resolves differently depending on how long you look at it.What is on the canvas is a wolf's head in profile running across all five panels, facing left, built up in thick white and black strokes with gold and steel blue broken through the background.People either enjoy that or find it frustrating, and it is worth knowing which you are before ordering.What it does to a roomAbstract art carries no period. A realistic wildlife canvas belongs to a recognisable decorating era; an abstract one does not, which is why it dates far more slowly.It also gives you colour without committing to a subject, so it works in rooms where a photographic wolf would feel too literal.Sizes and framing Small, Medium and Large With Frame: arrives ready to hang Without Frame: canvas only, needs mounting Abstract compositions hold up at large sizes because there is no fine detail to soften. If the wall can take it, size up.Compare it against the figurative pieces in our wolf painting collection, and see the painting size chart for scale.Free worldwide shipping, 7 to 12 business days. 30 day returns.
