Surface Notes VII - Blue Abstract Wall Art

Surface Notes VII is an original contemporary artwork that combines layered recycled paper with hand stitching to create a textured abstract composition. The piece explores rhythm, repetition and subtle tonal shifts through a field of horizontal lines.

A gradient of colour moves across the surface, transitioning from soft pale green at the top through turquoise and into deeper ocean blues below. These layered paper strips create a calm sense of movement, reminiscent of shifting water, horizon lines or distant landscapes.

Interspersed across the composition are sections of hand stitching that interrupt the flow of the horizontal bands. These stitched passages introduce tactile contrast and visual rhythm, acting almost like drawn marks across the surface. Their irregular spacing adds moments of pause and emphasis, giving the work a quiet but dynamic presence.

The combination of paper layering, colour variation and thread creates a piece that sits between painting, drawing and textile art. This balance of materials brings subtle depth and texture that becomes more noticeable the closer the viewer stands to the work.

With its cool blue palette and structured composition, Surface Notes VII works beautifully in contemporary interiors including coastal homes, minimalist spaces and modern Australian interiors.
