Black and white wall art
Original black and white paintings and drawings: contrast, line and texture, hand-made by professional artists.
Take colour away and what is left is the drawing itself: the line, the shadow, the texture of the paint. A black and white painting shows the artist's hand more clearly than almost anything else, and it never clashes with a sofa, a rug or a wall colour.
The works here are tagged black and white in our catalogue. They suit minimalist and Scandinavian interiors, but they also calm a room that already has a lot of pattern or colour.

Frequently asked questions
Where does a black and white painting look best?
On a light wall, where the contrast does the work.
Against white or pale grey, a monochrome piece reads from across the room. On a dark wall, choose a work with large white areas so it does not disappear.
Can I mix black and white art with colourful pieces?
Yes, as long as one of them clearly leads.
Several monochrome works around a single colourful piece make a calm, coherent gallery wall. An even split usually looks undecided.
Are these works originals?
Yes. Each piece is hand-made and signed by one of our represented artists.
Every work comes with a certificate of authenticity.
