Not because it’s yellow, but because it refuses to fade back. Bring this in and a plain white wall stops being background the room suddenly has a colour source, and everything beige around it looks deliberate rather than safe. Hang it above a sofa, a sideboard or a desk, roughly at eye level, and give it clear wall on both sides so the brushwork has room to breathe. It sits happily with pale linen, light wood, white-painted shelving and simple glass or white ceramics. Skip a busy patterned wallpaper behind it, and don’t crowd it with other strong colour pieces one loud thing per wall is plenty. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with the option of a real wood frame.
