This large abstract canvas by Marilyn Monnier (120 × 80 cm) captivates at first glance with the power of its contrast. A deep, sensual red occupies the upper portion, worked with a palette knife and layered glazes that reveal a vibrant, almost sculptural texture.

Below, anthracite gray and velvety black evoke a calm, mysterious expanse of nocturnal water. Between the two, a masterfully constructed central horizon line blends black, white, and red in gestural strokes, suggesting a stylized urban or industrial silhouette—like a city's reflection in the dark water of a moonless night.

The acrylic technique lends the work subtle reliefs and textural effects that shift with the light. The piece is signed by the artist, both on the front and back of the canvas.

In good overall condition, with the surface irregularities inherent to the painting technique, which fully contribute to the piece's character.

Perfect for dressing up a large wall and bringing a strong, contemporary presence to a living room, office, or open-plan living space. A statement piece, ready to find its place in your home. See less
