Modern Objects Green Poster

Concentric green rings are cut through by a solid vertical bar, with two black circles set off to either side. Green and black on a creamy ground is an unusual combination, and it gives the poster a retro-graphic feel without tipping into pastiche. The shapes are simple enough to read instantly and odd enough to keep looking at. The upright format suits a hallway, a sideboard wall or a gallery grouping with quieter prints. Oak, white walls and a few ceramics are all it really needs around it, since the shapes already do plenty.

Above a sideboard or in a hallway, the bold green rings could become the piece everything else is arranged around. The green and cream palette pairs nicely with oak, white walls and simple ceramics. A light oak frame keeps it warm, while a thin black frame would pick up the two dark circles. Hang it slightly larger than the prints beside it, and let the smaller pieces play a supporting role.
