The finished piece
Matte art paper, held in solid wood. The 170 gsm uncoated paper sits between two magnetic rails, with no glass and no visual bulk.
Ruby Blocks treats color as construction rather than atmosphere. Wine, earth and slate lock together with the weight of masonry, and the pale half-circle is the only give.
With a wooden hanger, the free edges keep color and matter in direct contact with the space around them.
About this piece
- Paper: low-reflection matte finish, 170 gsm.
- Hanger: wood that keeps the artwork open without a surrounding frame.
- Installation: includes a hanging cord and arrives ready to hang.
Care: avoid constant direct sunlight and clean only with a dry cloth.

Three checks that get it right
- Eye level. Hang the center of the artwork 57 to 60 inches from the floor.
- Furniture width. Above a sofa, bed, or console, artwork spanning about two-thirds of the furniture width feels balanced.
- Spacing. Leave 6 to 10 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame.

Studio Notes
Art for lived-in rooms.
The Light Stays reviews each work before it enters the collection. We check how its composition and color hold at every offered size.
01
Classic Matte Paper
The matte surface preserves fine tonal and textural detail.
02
Considered at Room Scale
Each composition is reviewed from across the room and at close viewing distance.
03
Everything you see is in the image.
Nothing rises off the surface. Any relief, texture, or brushwork belongs to the artwork, not to the surface you touch.
A Closer Look
Look closer at the paper and build.
Three views show how the paper reads up close, how the hanger holds the artwork, and how the finished piece sits in the room.
Complete the wall
Pieces that hang well together
Chosen from the same collection, in the same format, so the wall reads as one piece.
Slate Folds shows landscape after it has become structure. The planes fold like cut stone, and a single orange triangle marks where the light got in.

Terracotta Diptych is about one color lived at two temperatures. One panel lets the terracotta breathe in the light; the other closes it into the dark.

Deep Crimson shows a color taking more room than it needed. The block advances across the pale ground, and the work lives in the width of that advance.

For a gallery wall, keep the same size and hanger across the pieces and leave 2 to 4 inches between them.
Measure the open width of the wall and choose artwork at roughly two-thirds of that width. Above a sofa, bed, or console, use the furniture width as your reference. Our size guide leads with inches and keeps the exact metric dimensions beside them.
Very close. Every artwork is color-checked against calibrated profiles before it leaves. Screens can shift brightness and tone slightly; the classic matte paper gives the artwork a softer, more natural finish.
Two slim magnetic wood rails hold the paper at the top and bottom. The hanging cord is included, and the artwork can be changed without tools or damage to its edges.
