Nothing in this warm orange and deep brown whispers, even when the living room does. Put it up and the room stops being polite the burnt orange pulls the warmth out of timber furniture, and the mint green record player gives the eye something cool to land on. It works best at eye level above a sideboard, a record storage unit or a low bookcase, where the humour reads at close range. Keep the company simple: tan leather, teak or walnut, corduroy, striped curtains, a couple of mint or cream ceramics. Don’t crowd it with other bold portraits or busy pattern one loud voice per wall is plenty. As a canvas the warm glow softens slightly and the edges sit flush to the wall.
