From the doorway, the hard-edged blocks read clean. Up close, not polite. The shapes break apart, the black cuts across the blue, and one warm red mark pulls your eye down and to the left. In a room built from stone, grey and off-white, it stops being quiet and gives the space something to argue with. Hang it on the emptiest wall you have: above a low sideboard, in a hallway you walk past daily, or on a study wall behind a desk. Keep the furnishings plain pale wood, charcoal wool, matt steel, one terracotta pot to answer the red. Do not crowd it with patterned cushions or a busy rug; the piece is already doing the pattern work. As a canvas it hangs flat to the wall with no glare, ready to go straight up.
