Geisha CP

Gheorghe Virtosu

Unlike most of the artists, this canvas has a horizontal format as a homage to the Japanese woodblock printing. At the same time, the abstract painting contains a conscious or unconscious reference to the European tradition: the vertical borders. The capacity of the abstract language enables Virtosu to avoid the cultural appropriation: the oil painting isn’t a straightforward replica of the massively popular character in the context, which is completely detached from the original environment. The artist shows all respect to the Japanese heritage, creating an elaborated portrayal, which is as multilayered, as the dress of geisha.

The Art (Canvas Art Prints)

An affordable alternative to original artwork this beautiful canvas print pops off the wall with rich colour texture and detail. The fine art grade cotton or linen canvas is protected with a UV coating that eliminates glare. Frame and hanging hardware included.

To make this stretched canvas art print, the image is printed directly onto fine art grade cotton or linen canvas and expertly stretched around 1.5" wooden bars. An acrylic coating protects the high-quality giclée canvas print from moisture, dust and fading. Finished with hand-painted borders, this stretched framed canvas print offers an artistic look with texture and depth.
