Art Historian's Take
Mike Schick — "Paper Trail II Crop" is a compelling example of late 20th-century contemporary abstraction that synthesizes the geometric rigor of modernist traditions with a distinctly personal, painterly sensibility. Rooted in the lineage of artists such as Piet Mondrian and Josef Albers, Schick’s work engages with the formal language of geometric abstraction, yet diverges through its use of soft, atmospheric color and subtle textural variations. The composition is structured around a series of interlocking circular and angular forms that create a dynamic yet balanced visual rhythm, demonstrating a masterful command of spatial relationships and negative space. The artist employs a restrained palette dominated by cool lavenders and slate grays, a choice that evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and aligns with the minimalist aesthetic of the period. This deliberate use of a limited color scheme not only unifies the composition but also enhances its subtle tonal shifts, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay between line, form, and space. The work’s significance lies in its ability to convey complexity through simplicity, offering a meditative experience that resonates with the broader cultural shift toward introspection and minimalism in the post-war era. Schick’s technique, characterized by a smooth, almost airbrushed application of paint, further distinguishes the piece, blurring the boundaries between painting and design. As such, "Paper Trail II Crop" stands as a refined testament to the enduring power of abstraction to communicate profound aesthetic and philosophical ideas through a restrained visual vocabulary.

Great quality prints

I took a chance and ordered and I’m glad I did. The prints arrived quickly and were well packaged, no damage. The colors and quality of paper look better than expected. I’m very satisfied and would order again. Thank you for great customer service.

Love the artwork

The colors are great for our room. We needed something with the dark teal color. Love the artwork. The artwork however was almost ruined. The delivery person put it out on front stoop in the pouring rain. I would suggest that Decorus put the tube into sealed plastic before inserting into the shipping box.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it—and I’m glad to hear the artwork and colors worked well for your space.

I’m sorry to hear about the delivery experience, that’s always frustrating when carriers leave packages exposed like that.

Since your order and your feedback, we took a big look at how we were packaging prints and ran with your feedback. Since the end of last year we all prints are now rolled and placed inside a protective plastic sleeve before going into the tube, which is then placed in the box, which helps prevent issues like moisture exposure during transit.

We appreciate you calling that out, it’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps us improve.

Cheers,
Shane

FAQ, shipping, and expectation setting

High-converting pages remove uncertainty before it becomes a support ticket.

How will my print arrive?

Your print arrives unframed and unstretched, rolled in a protective tube. No frame, no stretcher bars, no mounting -- just the printed material. You choose how to finish it.

Does this come framed or stretched?

No. Every print ships unframed and unstretched, rolled in a tube. This is the print only -- you take it to a local frame shop, stretch it yourself, or have your designer install it however you like.

Does your canvas prints come with a bleed for stretching?

Yes, by default all Canvas Prints come standard with a 3" mirrored bleed.

Do you produce this yourselves?

Yes. Every print is produced in-house at our studio in Sarasota, Florida.

What is the difference between materials?

Poster is smooth and cost-efficient, fine art is the most elevated paper choice with rich detail, and canvas adds textural softness and painterly depth. All three ship unframed and unstretched.

Do you do custom sizes?

Yes, we do custom sizes. Please send your part number and the custom size and substrate you are looking to have printed and we can quote you the price or build you a draft order. Please send inquiries to info@decorus.art

Do you modify or crop images?

Do you need us to alter an image ratio, artist signature, change color, or other image manipulation? There is a flat $25 design fee.

There is no charge for the same ratio in a size not listed.

What is your return policy?
