Acrylic paintings on canvas
Original acrylic paintings, hand-painted and signed by professional artists.
Acrylic painting is the everyday medium of contemporary artists. It dries fast, it goes from thick, sculptural texture to flat, graphic colour, and its colours stay bright. Much of the abstract and street-art work painted today is acrylic for exactly those reasons.
The works shown here list acrylic in their technique: pure acrylic on canvas, or acrylic combined with spray paint, pastel or other media. Each one is an original, signed by the artist.
For a home, acrylic is also the easy choice: once dry it is stable and light, and it asks for little more than dusting and a spot out of direct sun.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between acrylic and oil painting?
Acrylic is water-based and dries in minutes to hours; oil takes days or weeks.
That speed lets artists build layers quickly and work with bold, flat colour. Oil allows slower blending. Neither is better: it is a question of the look the artist is after.
How do I care for an acrylic painting?
Dust it gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
Avoid water and cleaning products on the surface, and keep the work away from direct sun and heat sources.
Can I commission an acrylic painting?
Yes, through a custom request.
Tell us the subject, the colours and the size of your wall, and we connect you with an artist who works in acrylic.
