Description
Maggie Roberts – ‘The City has no Limits’, 20th century oil on canvas, 237cm x 193cm, within a painted wood frame. A dramatic and post modernist statement piece, a huge 8 feet tall capturing the dynamic vibrancy of a cityscape through stylistic themes, colour references, structures and texture. The piece itself lends itself perfectly to a wide range of locations and ambience from post industrial warehouse loft apartments to corporate walls, grand staircases and large empty wall spaces for both fine modern and period interiors.
Please note images of the painting within a room setting are for illustration purposes only and not to scale, please check dimensions.
Due to the sheer scale of this piece logistics and costs for shipping can be discussed with the buyer at the time of purchase.
