Can you smell this picture? For whatever reason these retro lovelies immediately evoke a certain balmy sweet scent. These ponies were part of my own toy chest, adapted to more current obsession themes like soft serve and banana…..and finally a little unicorn illustration,too! To this day I love these neon haired and pastel bodied characters…
Kitsch Kanaveral: A frilly deep dive into nostalgia where technicolour dreamscapes blend into rainbow hued reminders of childhood dreams and flavours.
Four ponies tumble across a background of blush rose and dusty lavender, their manes streaming in peach-orange, teal, rainbow-bright yellow-green, and soft lilac-purple – a palette that sits warmly in the coral-to-peach range with cool violet shadows threaded through. That warm-cool balance means the print comes alive against walls painted in muted terracotta or warm blush (analogous to its peachy ground), holds its own against a soft sage or dusty teal (a near-complementary that picks up the manes without fighting them), and settles beautifully on a warm off-white with a peachy undertone rather than a stark or cool white. This is unambiguously a piece for interiors that embrace colour and a little irreverence – kitsch maximalist, retro playroom, eclectic collector, and pastel Scandi-romantic spaces are all natural homes for it. Hang it in a child’s bedroom or a creative studio where it can be seen properly, or let it anchor the joyful corner of a living room shelving wall. It belongs to the Kitsch Kanaveral collection, a series the artist describes as launching technicolour dreamscapes – big in spirit, designed to open a window to another dreamy world – and it pairs happily with other prints from the collection to build a gallery wall that reads as a considered set rather than a lucky coincidence. Childhood-nostalgia hunters and anyone who grew up brushing plastic manes will find it an especially fitting gift.
Printed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture, the matte glare-free surface reads as softly tactile even before you touch it, and it suits everything from a slim oak frame to an ornate gilded one without any light bounce to fight. At A4 the print is ideal propped on a shelf or tucked into a gallery wall; A3 steps it up to a confident standalone above a desk or beside a bedside table; A2 earns its place as a proper statement piece on a feature wall; A1 makes the ponies life-sized in their joy and commands a whole wall in a hallway or playroom; and A0 is a full room anchor, the kind of piece a space is arranged around rather than added to. This print is also available as a ready-to-hang canvas measuring 28×40 inches (70×100 cm), requiring no frame.
