Abstract paintings
Colour, movement and emotion — original abstract canvases, hand-painted by professional artists.
Abstract painting frees a wall from the literal. Instead of depicting a scene, it works through colour, gesture and composition — which is exactly why a modern abstract canvas adapts to so many interiors. At L'Original, each abstract tableau is an original work, never a reproduction.
From bold colourful canvases to quiet minimalist compositions, explore abstract paintings signed by our represented artists.

4.9Frequently asked questions
What makes a painting abstract?
An abstract painting does not try to represent reality faithfully. It uses colour, shape, line and texture as a language of their own. Movements such as Abstract Expressionism and geometric abstraction are well documented by museums like the Tate and MoMA.
Where should I hang an abstract canvas?
Abstract canvases are especially effective above a sofa, in an entryway, or as a focal point on a large empty wall, where their colour can set the mood of the whole room.
