Why our oil paintings are different

Painted by hand.
Framed by our woodworkers.

Your oil painting is only started once you order it, and one of the collective's senior artists paints it by hand in Binh Thanh, Ho Chi Minh City.

The archival canvas print shows the same image, printed rather than painted, so its surface is flat. Both versions come rolled, on a wooden stretcher, or framed.

Painted to order
Every oil painting order goes to one of the collective's senior artists.
Frames made in-house
The collective's woodworkers make the stretchers and the frames.

About this painting

The story behind this artwork.

Cream tower, arched window and low arcade

The scene is a Saigon colonial view reduced to a few large shapes. A square cream tower stands right of centre, topped with a pyramid roof in terracotta red. One tall arched window with white grid panes sits in its upper half, and a narrow band of shadow runs down its left side.

To the left, a low arcade runs to the edge of the canvas. Its rounded arches frame recesses in sage green. In front, a pale plaza slopes in a diagonal, and a low wall closes the lower right corner beside a strip of green horizon.

Soft oil surfaces in cream, grey-blue and terracotta

The paint is laid on smooth and thin. The sky is an even pale grey-blue with barely a visible stroke, while the walls carry faint shifts between cream, sand and pale peach. The roof is the only strong warm accent, and the sage green of the arches repeats at the right horizon.

An empty sky and a tower pushed to one side

More than half of the canvas is open sky, which gives the tower room and keeps the picture still. No figures appear. The tall vertical tower against the long horizontal arcade makes the portrait format feel balanced rather than crowded.

A calm vertical piece for pale, quiet walls

The muted palette of cream, grey-blue and sage suits bedrooms, studies and light hallways where a loud picture would tire the eye. The terracotta roof gives a small warm point that works with wood, linen or neutral paint. Its tall shape also suits a slim stretch of wall, such as the gap beside a doorway.

FAQ

What shape is the window in the tower?

It is a tall arched window with a white grid of panes, set in the upper half of the cream tower and framed by a slightly recessed arch.

Does anyone stand in the plaza or under the arcade?

No. The plaza, arcade and tower are empty, which adds to the still, quiet mood of the scene.

What colour is the roof, and does it stand out?

The pyramid roof is terracotta red. It is the strongest warm note against the pale sky and cream walls, so the eye goes to it first.

Do cream, grey-blue and sage tones suit a bedroom or study?

Yes. These soft tones suit calm rooms such as bedrooms, studies and bright hallways, and the tall portrait format fits a narrow wall.
