Sardine Parade in Pink Canvas Print

This isn’t wall filler. It’s hot pink with a point of view. Five painted sardines sit in a row, edged in gold, and the whole thing behaves like a small window of colour in a room that has none. Put it where people stand about: the kitchen, the dining corner, the bit of wall beside the fridge or above a sideboard. It lifts painted cabinetry, plain tile and pale wood without needing anything else to help it. Pair it with glazed ceramics, striped cotton and a bowl of lemons. Don’t bury it in a row of muted botanicals or hang it against a heavily patterned wallpaper. It wants a plain wall and room to shout. As a canvas the brushwork keeps its painted, hand-made feel.
