From the doorway, the strong vertical reads clean. Up close, not polite. The fox is mid-scheme, the crow is watching, and the whole thing is cut in thick black line over mustard olive. Hang it and a plain wall stops being background the orange fur pulls warmth into the room and the black branches give the wall some structure. It earns its keep in a hallway, a study, or on the wall beside a reading chair. Pair it with dark wood, aged leather, wool checks and stoneware; a deep green or chalky off-white wall suits it. Don’t bury it behind a lamp or crowd it with small pale prints it needs air on both sides. As a canvas the flat colour looks matt and slightly weathered, like a hand-pulled poster.
