Wrapped Up Poster

Wrapped Up spreads Christmas across a sage green ground as a set of flat, cut-paper shapes with no scene to hold them. A large checked bow in dark green sits at the top left, a red one with a leaf pattern at the bottom left, and between them a striped cracker, a blue bow with sprigs, a candy cane with a ribbon tied around it, a spotted toadstool, a hanging bauble, a lollipop and three small wrapped parcels. Faint stars and dots fill the gaps. Every shape is drawn without outline and lit evenly, so the piece reads as a pattern rather than a still life, and the green holds the warm and cool colours together.

The sage green is soft enough to sit against white, cream or a painted wall without fighting it. Light oak keeps the whole thing gentle; black makes the shapes pop and the green read deeper. It works in a hallway, a living room or a child's room, and it suits a gallery wall because the pattern reads from a distance. Pair it with checked textiles, red candles and anything with a ribbon on it.
