Colour Flow Abstraction (1962) Canvas Print

Colour Flow Abstraction (1962) Canvas PrintToo much beige. Not enough red. This fixes that. A retro gallery poster abstract in red, blue, lilac, green and orange on a deep black ground, captioned as a 1962 exhibition piece. Put it on the wall and the room sharpens up. The black ground pulls the eye in, the shapes do the talking, and any nearby neutrals stop reading as safe and start reading as deliberate. It suits a feature wall in a living room, behind a desk in a home office, or in a hallway

Avoid hanging it next to anything loud

' said nobody standing in front of soft pink walls and turquoise water

It works solo on a chalky off-white wall

the brush textures sit beautifully against a painted wall

A small wall starts feeling looked-after rather than just decorated

A bold still life of a patterned Grecian vase

snow-laden roofs and a thread of warm fairy lights — a winter scene that doesn't slip into cliché

It works hardest in a bedroom or a quiet hallway

It wants pale walls and natural materials around it — oak

It brings a quiet bit of English-country charm to a room without tipping into chintz

Let this piece remind you daily: joy can be as simple as sunlight filtering through the leaves

or at the head of a bed where you want a soft anchor rather than a loud one
