Description
Colourful and contemporary male nude artwork from artist Andrew Norton. Made in the UK, the print is presented with a mount card, glazed and in a wood-effect frame, ready to hang on your wall. Andrew Orton's primary subject matter is the human figure. Whether drawing from a live model at life drawing classes or commissioned portraiture, the figure is a neverending source of inspiration. Andrew loves to experiment with new combinations of colours and techniques, and different materials and processes such as figure embroidery and collage. He has exhibited around the city of Manchester as well as organising his own art events. He is influenced to a large extent by German expressionism and figurative artists such as Egon Schiele but also admires contemporary figure painters such as Euan Uglow. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print because it adds a contemporary, playful touch to any space while celebrating the human form. Its bold, colourful style works particularly well in modern or eclectic interiors, and it can be a great focal point above a sofa or console table. For styling tips, consider pairing it with minimalist furniture to let the artwork stand out, or incorporate other colourful accessories for a more vibrant look. It’s also versatile enough to work in a bedroom or even a creative workspace, adding an element of interest without overwhelming the room. The framed finish keeps it neat and ready to hang, making it an easy way to inject personality into your home.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
