Leaves and Cobwebs by Ogino Issui Art Print

On a low winter afternoon, the olive green looks almost illegally fresh. Ogino Issui’s leaves and cobwebs sit close together, layered over a darker patterned ground, with fine web lines drifting across the surface.

In a room, it pulls the eye down to something quiet and slow. The wall stops being a backdrop and starts holding atmosphere earthy, a little moody, with just enough light in the leaves to stop it going heavy.

Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, a bedside table or a low sideboard. It also reads beautifully in a hallway where you pass it more than you study it.

Pair with oak or walnut, undyed linen, stoneware lamps and warm paper shades. A black or oak frame keeps the mood intact.

Don’t crowd it with brighter florals this one wants the wall to itself.
