Larger Lothar Charoux Prints Beyond 70x100 cm
A direct answer on size limits, what exists instead, and how to judge whether a 70x100 cm edition will hold a bigger wall than you expect.
No. Lothar Charoux editions at Auvrique top out at 70x100 cm, and no larger custom print sizes are offered. If your wall needs more, the practical routes are a canvas edition at the same maximum size, a diptych arrangement of two prints, or choosing a different artist available in bigger formats.
The Size Ceiling, Stated Plainly
The short answer is no. Charoux editions are not produced above 70x100 cm, and there is no hidden catalogue of larger formats waiting behind a request form. That ceiling exists for a reason. Reproduction quality depends on the resolution of the source material, and enlarging past a certain point turns crisp geometric forms into soft edges. Charoux's clean lines and flat color fields are exactly the kind of work that punishes careless upscaling.
For an anxious buyer with a specific wall in mind, this is the moment to measure rather than mourn. A 70x100 cm print covers roughly 0.7 square meters. On a wall of 3 meters or more it will read as a deliberate single object, not something small and lost. Scale problems usually come from hanging one print alone on a vast surface, and that has solutions that do not require a bigger print.
What To Do When 70x100 Is Not Enough
The most reliable alternative is pairing. Two 70x100 cm editions hung with a deliberate gap of 5 to 10 cm read as one composition and double the coverage. Charoux's geometric vocabulary suits this treatment, since the work already thinks in repeated shapes and parallel lines. A pair of framed posters such as Aquifer as a framed poster beside Iona in a framed edition can carry a sofa wall without strain.
A single canvas edition is the other route. Canvas reads larger than paper at identical dimensions because the image runs edge to edge without a frame's visual interruption. If you are weighing formats anyway, the comparison between canvas editions and framed prints is covered in choosing canvas or framed for Charoux. And if the wall is genuinely oversized, consider whether a different artist with larger formats is the honest answer.
Options above the limit
- Hang two 70x100 cm prints as a deliberate pair with a 5 to 10 cm gap.
- Choose a canvas edition, which reads larger than a framed print at the same size.
- Reduce the apparent wall size with furniture, shelving or a grouped arrangement.
- Select a different artist whose editions are available in larger formats.
Why Enlargement Has A Natural Limit
It is worth understanding why the ceiling sits where it does. Every reproduction is only as sharp as its source file or photograph. Charoux's hard-edged abstraction tolerates enlargement better than a finely brushed landscape would, but only up to the resolution of the available material. Beyond that, lines blur and flat planes develop visible texture that was never in the original.
There is also a proportion argument. A 70x100 cm sheet is close to the golden ratio in feel, tall and narrow enough to suit standard framing glass and standard wall heights. Formats much larger than that start to demand custom framing, higher shipping risk and a wall measured in gallery terms. Most domestic rooms are better served by the size that exists than by a hypothetical bigger one that arrives warped. For smaller spaces, sizing a Charoux print for a small bedroom covers the other end of the problem.
For an anxious buyer with a specific wall in mind, this is the moment to measure rather than mourn.
