Quiet Tension (2026)Acrylic painting by Edelgard Schroer

Quiet Tension

This original abstract painting by Edelgard Schroer explores depth through layered structure and restrained contrast. Created on a 120 × 80 cm canvas with a 4 cm gallery profile, the composition unfolds in petrol and teal tones, balanced by soft grey transitions and fine gold threads embedded within the textured surface.

Multiple applications of acrylic and structure medium build a tactile relief that gives the surface quiet density. The darker passages are grounded rather than heavy, allowing the integrated gold lines to introduce subtle movement and light. The metallic elements are woven into the structure itself, catching illumination gently as the perspective shifts.

The substantial 4 cm canvas depth enhances the sculptural presence of the work and allows it to be displayed unframed. It works particularly well above a sofa, where its calm depth stabilizes the room. Above a sideboard, it adds refined material presence without visual noise. On a larger wall, it becomes a quiet focal point defined by surface rather than color intensity.

The painting is signed on the front and comes ready to hang.
