Fruit pigeons come in the most dazzling of colours. This particularly unusual purple pigeon of the fruit dove variety is an extremely rare colour combination that may have been caused by a genetic defect.
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!
This print radiates a bold, jewel-toned palette centred on deep violet-purple, cobalt and periwinkle blue, and a vivid chartreuse-yellow-green, with accents of burnt orange, dark crimson, and teal. Those colours run cool-to-neutral overall, with the orange patch providing a warm counterpoint that stops the whole thing tipping cold. Walls in a soft dusty lavender or a mid-toned slate blue work as analogous neighbours of the print’s own violet and cobalt, letting the image sit within a harmonious tonal envelope. For contrast, a deep forest green or a rich teal-grey wall picks up the bird’s teal and green body while sitting opposite the purples on the colour wheel, giving the piece genuine tension and presence. If you prefer to let the print lead, an off-white with a cool, slightly grey undertone keeps the temperature consistent without competing. Styles it genuinely suits include maximalist eclectic, contemporary botanical, and jewel-toned mid-century modern – rooms where colour is treated as a serious design decision rather than an afterthought. It belongs in a kitchen or dining room where its fruit-and-bird subject feels natural, or in a living room or home office where the winged energy lends the wall a sense of movement. The Plum Pigeon is part of the Sticky Beaks collection – a series described as a "veritable feast for the senses" celebrating birds, juicy fruits, and vintage fruit stickers in deliberately unusual pairings – and it groups beautifully with other prints from the collection for an exuberant gallery wall. It makes a considered gift for bird lovers, fruit-art enthusiasts, and anyone who collects boldly coloured prints with a knowing sense of humour.
The print is produced using 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 quietly under both slim modern clip frames and more ornate vintage mouldings without the distraction of reflections. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm), the print works well propped on a shelf or tucked into a tightly curated gallery wall where its rich colours punch above its size. An A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) begins to assert itself as a proper statement piece above a console or sideboard, while A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) commands a full wall in a dining room or hallway. At A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) the bird’s wingspan and the depth of colour become genuinely room-anchoring, filling a large wall the way a painting would. For those who prefer to hang without framing, this print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang straight from the box.
