Apple Akekee Giclée Art Print


Choose Your Print Size

Say hello to the akekee bird. A small, inquisitive and active bird native to high altitudes in Hawaii. It thrives in wet forests and is sadly critically endangered.

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!

 

Soft chartreuse yellow, warm olive green, cool sage, and a bright grass green anchor this print, with quieter notes of grey-brown in the bird’s wing and a faint blush cream drifting through the background. The palette runs warm-cool – the yellowy greens carry a distinctly warm, golden undertone while the apple’s vivid surface tilts cooler – which gives it unusual versatility on the wall. For a harmonious, tonal scheme, hang it against a warm sage or soft olive emulsion: the wall will recede and the bird will seem to float forward. If you want gentle contrast, a warm off-white or pale linen wall lets the brighter green sing without competing. For something bolder, a deep warm charcoal with a green undertone draws out the darker tones in the wing and grounds the composition beautifully. This print suits naturalist illustration style interiors, contemporary maximalist rooms, Japandi spaces that welcome a single vivid focal point, and eclectic or vintage-leaning kitchens where fruit and nature motifs feel entirely at home. A kitchen, dining room, or sunlit reading nook would all carry it well – placed at eye level above a sideboard or between open shelves it becomes an instant conversation piece. Part of the Sticky Beaks collection, a joyful series celebrating birds, juicy fruits, and vintage fruit stickers in deliberately unexpected pairings, it pairs beautifully with other prints from the collection to build a contemporary abstract fruit-bowl gallery wall. It makes a genuinely lovely gift for a bird enthusiast, a keen cook, or anyone who simply enjoys a bit of wit on their walls.

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 beautifully in natural light and suits everything from a slim white box frame to an ornate gilt vintage one. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) the print works on a shelf ledge, a windowsill, or clustered into a gallery arrangement; at A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) it holds its own as a single statement above a desk or beside a kitchen dresser; and at A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) or A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) it becomes a commanding, room-anchoring piece that fills a generous wall with calm, luminous colour. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
