Gilded Thresholds Acrylic

Gilded Thresholds

This original abstract artwork by Edelgard Schroer consists of four strongly textured vertical panels that explore the idea of passage, transition, and inner space. Each element is built from two canvases, with a smaller canvas mounted onto a larger one, creating a sculptural depth that goes beyond the painted surface.

Rich layers of acrylic paint, modeling paste, and metallic gold accents form tactile, almost relief-like structures. Deep ultramarine and ocean blues meet warm sand, ivory, and muted earth tones, while golden borders and organic traces suggest framed inner spaces—doors, thresholds, or symbolic portals. The surface bears visible marks, cracks, and textures that catch the light and change with perspective.

Each panel is painted on stretched canvas with carefully painted edges, allowing the work to be displayed unframed. The vertical format enhances its architectural presence, making the artwork particularly suited for modern interiors, large walls, or curated spaces seeking a bold yet contemplative statement.

The four elements can be hung together as a cohesive installation or arranged with subtle spacing to emphasize their individual character.
