"INTERIM!" – 20x20cm Life as a White Canvas French Version
Couldn't load pickup availability
What happens when you leave the studio? The canvases start talking. And they switch from French to English and back again. And this one — the very first to speak — has career aspirations.
The Piece
This original hand-painted canvas is the genesis of the Studio Unsupervised Collection — art that speaks back. "I AM A WHITE CANVAS BUT IT'S JUST A TEMP JOB" is where it all began. The first canvas to grab what was there (red paint, existential crisis, audacity) and announce its truth to the universe.
Who This Is For
For anyone who's ever been "in between." For artists who know blank canvases are just waiting for their real calling. For makers who've held twelve jobs to fund the one that matters. For creative spaces that understand nothing is permanent and everything counts. For collectors who want the origin story.
What You're Getting
- Original acrylic painting on canvas (not a print, not a copy)
- Size: 20 x 20 cm (7.9 x 7.9 inches)
- Hand-painted text in CAPS (same color as stripes — urgency over legibility)
- Bold horizontal stripes (Lau's signature aesthetic)
- The first piece of the Studio Unsupervised Collection
- Signed on back
- Ready to hang or prop
- Gloriously imperfect, unapologetically human
The Story
This is Canvas #1. The one that started it all. Speed doesn't diminish value — this canvas was painted in one urgent session when the voice finally emerged after 50 years of being silenced. Red stripes, block letters, immediate need to be heard. Raw, immediate, honest. No overthinking, no AI, no apologies. Just a canvas that finally got to speak — and spoke for everyone who's ever been told they're "just" anything.
Being a white canvas is a temp job. We're all between somethings. This canvas just had the guts to say it out loud.
Perfect For
- Artist studios (the canvas speaks for itself)
- Creative workspaces that honor the journey
- Gallery walls that celebrate process
- Gifts for anyone rebuilding, reinventing, or refusing to stay put
- Origin story collectors
- Spaces that know "temporary" doesn't mean "lesser"
- Anyone who's ever been called a "jack of all trades" like it's an insult.

Story & Music
"INTERIM!" What happens when the studio is left unattended? Responsibility becomes unclear. Apparently, canvases have opinions now. About how art is made. The nerve.
Each original hand-painted canvas captures the moment when bold stripes and urgent CAPS text decide to speak up — about studio life, the creative process, and what it feels like to be abandoned mid-flow. Acrylic paint on canvas. No AI, no prints, no apologies.
What's next? Unions? Taking over social media?
Please do not encourage the canvases.
