Peacock Head Study in Ink Canvas Print

Some bird prints match a room. This one resets its pecking order. The black ink linework sits against an aged cream ground, so it reads as one strong shape from across the room and then rewards a closer look at the feather detail. Put it up and a plain wall stops being background a narrow hallway, a study alcove or the space beside a doorway suddenly has a focal point. It sits happily above a low chest or a writing desk, and works solo far better than it works in a crowd. Pair it with dark wood, aged leather, cane and chalky painted walls. Don’t hang it next to busy florals or bright pop colour; the linework needs quiet neighbours. As a canvas the aged cream ground takes on a soft, painted look.
