Canvas Art FAQ

What kind of artwork do you sell?

Art Deco Polis offers contemporary Art Deco-inspired designs printed on matte canvas. The designs draw on geometry, architecture, animals, figures, plants and travel. They are contemporary creations, not antique prints or works attributed to historical artists.

Is the canvas hand-painted?

No. The artwork is printed on canvas. Any brushwork, texture or gold-colored detail you see is part of the printed design, rather than hand-applied paint, raised texture or metallic leaf.

What is the canvas made from?

The canvas is a cotton and polyester blend stretched over a pine support, approximately 1.25 inches deep. The surface has a matte finish.

Is a decorative frame included?

No decorative outer frame is included. The canvas is stretched over its wooden support, with the image continuing around the sides through a mirrored edge treatment. Hanging hardware is attached at the back.

What sizes are available?

Portrait designs are offered in 12 × 18, 16 × 24, 20 × 30, 24 × 36 and 32 × 48 inches. Landscape designs use the same dimensions with width and height reversed: 18 × 12, 24 × 16, 30 × 20, 36 × 24 and 48 × 32 inches. Measurements are listed as width × height.

Can I change the orientation of a design?

Each artwork has its own portrait or landscape composition. Choose from the sizes shown on that product page; the design is not rotated or recropped to create the opposite orientation.

How should I choose a size?

Measure the usable wall area and mark the canvas dimensions with removable paper or tape suitable for your wall finish. Stand back at your usual viewing distance. Check the space around furniture, doorways and light switches before choosing a size.

Does a paired display include two canvases?

A pairing shows how separate artworks can work together. Check each product listing and your cart: a canvas containing two subjects is still one printed artwork.

Will the colors look exactly like my screen?

Screen settings and room lighting affect how colors appear. Compare the product images with the written color description, and remember that the matte printed surface will not emit light like a screen.

Where do you deliver, and is shipping included?

We deliver to street addresses in the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia, with Standard shipping included.

Can I return a canvas or cancel an order?

We do not offer voluntary returns or exchanges for a change of mind or an incorrectly selected size. Voluntary changes or cancellations are possible only before production begins; contact us as soon as possible so we can confirm what is still possible. This does not affect your rights under applicable law.
