This is not so bad….I’m rocking this lockdown…wait what?! This all wrong! What day and month is it even?!

Quarantine Cats! While the Apocalypse might well need 4 horsemen, the 2020 lockdown quarantine is better expressed in cats!

 

Burnt orange and aqua – warm terracotta meeting a clear, slightly minty turquoise – are the two forces this print balances, with mid-amber accents, soft blue-grey eyes, and a clean white ground keeping the palette punchy but never heavy. Because the dominant hue is a deep warm orange, walls in the same tonal family work beautifully: a pale peach or warm cream lets the orange glow without competition, while a deeper terracotta or clay creates a rich tonal pairing that pulls the whole composition forward. For contrast, the aqua stripes point naturally toward a soft duck-egg or muted jade wall – an analogous move that borrows the print’s cooler notes and makes them feel deliberate. If you prefer a neutral, choose one with warm undertones – a sandy off-white or greige rather than a cool grey – so the orange doesn’t turn muddy against it. The subject matter is cheeky and graphic, landing squarely in contemporary illustration, pop-art, and playful maximalist interiors; it would also hold its own in a mid-century modern room where bold colour blocking is expected. Hang it in a kitchen, a child’s room, or a home studio where a little irreverence is welcome. It belongs to the 4 Cats Of The Quarantine collection – a series with a wry, knowing energy – and pairs naturally with the other prints from the collection for a gallery wall that tells a bigger story. It makes a strong gift for a cat lover, a new-home friend, or anyone who likes their art to have a sense of humour.

Printed with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper – a smooth, gallery-grade stock with a soft, glare-free surface that earns the description museum-grade – this print suits both the clean lines of a slim black or natural oak frame and the detail of an ornate plaster or gilded vintage moulding, since the matte finish eliminates reflections in either context. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) sits comfortably on a shelf or slotted into a gallery wall arrangement; the A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) holds its own as a single statement above a desk or beside a doorway; and the A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) is large enough to anchor a whole wall, carrying the bold palette across a room with ease. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
