Dark Measure No. 04 — Umber is an original 8 x 8 inch abstract painting created in acrylic on wood panel and presented in a black wood frame without a mat. Its layered umber, black and muted earth tones create a compact composition with depth, weight and a weathered surface.
Dark architectural forms gather across the painting, separated by narrow passages of softened brown and taupe. Scraped marks, irregular edges and layered acrylic texture give the surface a quiet history, while the near-monochromatic palette keeps the composition restrained. Dark Measure is a small body of work within Dean Sauls’ broader Counterweight series. This listing is for the actual one-of-a-kind painting shown, handmade by artist Dean Sauls. It is not a print, reproduction, digital download or print-on-demand product.
