No alliteration here because the seagull will do as it pleases. Couldn’t even keep still long enough for its portrait without devouring the banana. Classic gull style!
Sticky Beaks is about super saturated monochrome pieces celebrating a love for birds, juicy fruits, and vintage fruit stickers in most unusual compositions. Collect them all and create a contemporary abstract fruit bowl wall!
Painted in chalky off-white, warm sand, slate grey, soft denim blue, and a burst of ripe banana yellow, this print carries a mood that is simultaneously deadpan and quietly joyful – the kind of thing that stops a visitor mid-sentence. The yellow is the print’s temperature setter: it runs warm with golden undertones, which means walls in muted warm whites, aged linen, or soft stone will let the gull’s pale plumage sit cleanly without losing the banana’s punch. For those who want contrast, a flat mid-toned slate or dusty steel blue – drawn from the cool denim already present in the background – creates an analogous harmony that makes the whole composition feel considered rather than accidental. If you’d prefer something more unexpected, a deep warm charcoal lets the off-whites and yellows lift dramatically forward. The print suits Coastal Contemporary, Eclectic, and Scandi-influenced interiors particularly well, as well as the looser, more playful end of Maximalist styling. Hang it in a kitchen, a hallway, or a home studio – anywhere that benefits from a dry sense of humour and a confident jolt of colour. It belongs to the Sticky Beaks collection, a series celebrating the "delightfully unusual" pairing of birds and fruit with a nod to vintage fruit stickers; collected together across a gallery wall, several prints from the series create what the artist calls a "contemporary abstract fruit bowl." It makes a strong gift for bird lovers, cooks, and anyone who appreciates art that refuses to take itself too seriously.
This print is produced with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture and a matte, glare-free surface that sits equally well behind a slim natural-wood frame or a wider ornate plaster one, with no reflections to contend with in any light. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) sizes are well suited to shelf ledges, narrow hallways, and gallery wall arrangements where the print can hold its own alongside others from the Sticky Beaks collection. The A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) earns its place as a standalone piece above a desk or beside a kitchen doorway, where the gull’s sideways glance catches you at eye level. The A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) makes a confident statement above a sofa or console table, and the A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) has enough presence to anchor an entire wall, the banana yellow reading clearly from across a generous room. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
