Collection
Black & White People Wall Art for the Staircase / Landing
This collection includes Black Swan On The Water and White Swan At Night. People art draws on human presence, expression and the stories a face or figure can hold. The black & white palette is timeless and graphic, reading as classic in almost any interior. For a staircase: the one wall in the house you experience in motion, so a themed sequence — a journey through one genre — reads beautifully here. Every design here can be ordered as a custom-size canvas painting (framed, or unframed and rolled), a printed photo frame, or a cork, pin or magnetic board.

Hanging it in the Staircase / Landing
Stagger the group along the sightline of each step rather than a single straight datum line, since the floor itself is sloped.
