Art for the Cafe

Framing available

A bridal portrait broken into planes of colour — jewellery, veil and profile reassembled as a mosaic that you read all at once rather than feature by feature. The palette is deliberately unruly: magenta against olive, cobalt against gold. The most extroverted piece in the collection, and the one that will set the tone for whatever room it hangs in.

Framing available

Nine faces pressed into one plane, overlapping the way voices do in a crowded room. Each is resolved just enough to read as an individual before dissolving back into the pattern. The warm palette — rust, saffron, rose — keeps a busy composition from turning cold or clinical. A statement piece for a dining wall or a hospitality space.

Framing available

A face brought right up to the picture plane and shattered into gold, olive and turquoise facets, with the eyes left almost intact so that the gaze survives the abstraction. Close-cropped and confrontational in the best sense. Give it a wall of its own and enough distance to resolve.

Framing available

A dancer mid-turn, her skirt fanning into the same tiled geometry as the ground behind her, so figure and background are made of one material. The red carries the movement; the surrounding blocks of ochre and teal hold it still. Energetic without being loud — a good fit for a stairwell or any wall seen in passing.

Framing available

Mountains, river and sun reduced to flat cut-paper shapes in coral, cream and teal — no shading anywhere, just layered silhouettes. The most graphic piece in the catalog and the easiest to place: it will sit happily in a child's room, a home office, or a café without competing with anything.

Framing available

A face built from broad palette-knife strokes of white, black and a single slash of red across the cheek. Almost nothing is described literally — the features assemble themselves at viewing distance and fall apart again up close. Confident, graphic, and best given a plain wall.

Framing available

A collage-style portrait — sunglasses, roses and printed fabric layered flat against a coral ground with no attempt at depth. The most graphic and most modern piece here, closer to editorial illustration than to painting. Works well in a café, a studio, or any room that can take a high-chroma flat colour.

Framing available

An elderly man bent over a cup of tea, and behind him — with no explanation offered — the whole of a star field. The domestic and the cosmic put on the same plane without comment. The idea carries the piece, and it tends to be the one people ask about. Suits a dining room or a café wall where it will be looked at for a while.

Framing available

The companion to Chai Under the Stars, and the warmer of the two: a man in a saffron turban with two cups set out on the table in front of him, one of them plainly for someone who has not arrived. The nebula behind him is painted in reds rather than blues. The second cup is the whole story.
