Dzubas at Robert Elkon Gallery, 1960 Art Print

Dzubas at Robert Elkon Gallery, 1960 Art PrintToo much beige. Not enough orange. This fixes that. A reproduction of a 1960 gallery poster, with one big orange shape, a quiet grey blue bar above it, and the original exhibition type along the bottom. Put it on a calm wall and the room sharpens up. The orange does the work; the cream paper keeps it from shouting. Best on a feature wall in a living room, study or wide hallway somewhere with a bit of breathing room. Pair it with oak or walnut

The brushwork is loose but deliberate — a tall black mark anchoring cream and soft beige

Eye-level for seated dining

It's a piece with a sense of humour

It sits well with dark wood

oak or warm brown timber

It earns a wall on its own — above a console in the hallway

a soft rug with red or terracotta in it

Back in the 1860s

The eye is pulled to the figure and then out to the open horizon

so it wants a vertical bit of wall — beside a sofa

potted cacti and small figures sitting in the shade

It works above a child's bed
