Brandenburg Gate in Bright Colour Art Print

Brandenburg Gate in Bright Colour Art PrintThink of it as David Hockney with less reverence and better instincts. A landmark redrawn in crayon bright yellow, sky blue and deep green, with a pink wall and a leafy tree pushed up close. It brings warmth and a holiday mood to a room that has gone a bit too quiet, without tipping into kitsch. Hang it in an entryway above a low console, in a study above a desk, or in a living room as a single bright note against a chalky off white or soft pink wall.

Keep the rest of the wall quiet — one strong piece does more here than a cluster

There's a reason painters keep returning to a forest path

blush ceramics and brushed brass

cream walls and ceramic in white or soft blue

then the drawing keeps you there

Best above a low bedhead

lively enough to start a conversation

paper shades and stoneware in cream or clay

A still room gets a flicker of mystery — the kind that holds the room together rather than fighting for attention

The frog ballerina does the rest — a tightrope

beside a bright kitchen doorway

and a few warm earth tones
