Why the square works everywhere
The square format has a rare quality: it fights with nothing. Where a panoramic format demands width and a vertical format height, the square settles naturally above a console, a fireplace, a headboard or a sideboard. Its natural symmetry calms the composition of the wall and leaves all the room to what matters: colour and gesture.
In Régine Gardan’s square canvases, the energy flows from the centre outwards. It was a format she loved for its freedom: no imposed direction, the eye wanders.
One, two, or four squares
A single centred square is enough to structure a wall. Two squares side by side, about ten centimetres apart, create a dialogue, especially in colours that answer each other: a blue and a yellow, a black and a red. And four small squares in a grid compose a very graphic gallery wall.
If you hesitate over an artwork, let’s talk: every canvas is one of a kind, it deserves the right wall.
