Point of View
Point of View represents a masterful exploration of contemporary painting on an architectural scale, showcasing Christi Meril’s signature ability to blend urban industrial elements with organic natural materials in this museum-quality large-scale artwork. This exceptional contemporary painting on unstretched linen creates a commanding presence that transforms any sophisticated interior space.
The innovative presentation method elevates this piece beyond traditional contemporary art. Custom tapestry bars crafted from cut steel provide an industrial urban aesthetic that perfectly complements the painting’s cellular organic structure. This unique hanging system allows the unstretched linen to flow naturally, creating subtle dimensional movement that enhances the viewing experience and adds architectural interest to luxury spaces.
Meril’s masterful technique combines premium oil paint and acrylic paint to create the vibrant cellular composition, while Colorado campfire charcoal serves as an unexpected drawing medium that introduces authentic natural texture and organic mark-making. This surprising incorporation of nature’s own materials bridges the gap between contemporary urban art and environmental consciousness, making this piece especially appealing to collectors who value sustainable art practices and innovative material exploration.
The large-scale format makes “Point of View” ideal for corporate collections, luxury residential spaces, gallery exhibitions, and high-end hospitality environments. The cellular structure and transparent cube elements create visual depth and complexity that rewards extended viewing, while the industrial hanging system adds contemporary architectural appeal perfect for modern and industrial interior design schemes.
This investment-quality contemporary painting exemplifies the intersection of traditional painting techniques with innovative presentation methods, making it a significant addition to any serious art collection. The piece demonstrates Christi Meril’s evolution as a contemporary artist who consistently pushes boundaries while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and material quality.
The unstretched linen format and steel tapestry bar system also offer practical advantages for collectors, including easier transportation, flexible installation options, and the ability to adapt to various architectural spaces while maintaining museum-standard presentation quality.
