Unlike most bird art, this doesn’t wait for approval. It comes in loud: coral pink, painted checks and a teal peacock with a stare that holds the room. Put it up and a quiet wall stops being background. The colour bounces around the space, so nearby cushions, ceramics and rugs suddenly look intentional rather than random. It earns a spot above a sideboard, on a hallway wall you pass a hundred times a day, or in a dining room that could do with more nerve. Pair it with velvet, cane, warm brass and glazed pottery. Don’t bury it behind lamps or crowd it with lots of small busy pieces give it clear wall and let it do the talking. As a canvas, the surface reads like a painting straight off the easel.
