Burnished Plaques is an oil painting in canvas, but this wall art does not appear to be so. This is because of of the very clever usage of colors to show a metallic sheen and not merely a metallic sheen but a texture of burnished copper! This wall art shows three equal sized rectangular pieces with a burnished copper texture dominating almost all the pieces except for a change in the design pattern at the bottom of the three pieces. The bottom of the three canvas pieces show a metallic ebony strip running through the three pieces with a darker copper shaded strip running just above that. Large oblong scrawls in no definite order runs through the left half of the painting. This beauty of this wall art lies in its metallic texture. It needs a closer examination to realize that this is indeed a canvas wall art. This oil painting which is an abstract art is well suited for a medium sized modern living room with minimalistic style in furnishing.
