Description
Dream of summer days with this bright and colourful ice cream-inspired print by Alice Straker. The giclée art printing process and 210gsm acid-free archival paper create an exhibition-quality art print with long-lasting colours that more closely resemble the artist's materials and tones. A digital form of the original work is stored and then printed using a commercial printer and pigment-based inks. The print is presented with an acrylic glaze that's optically the same as glass yet lighter in weight making it easier and safer to hang. Ready to hang on your wall, it's framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. Alice Straker is a London-based artist and designer. Her paintings are thickly textured and use an uplifting colour palette which makes them sing from the walls. Alice works with a range of mediums and tools including acrylic, oils, pastels, palette knives and brushes, to create highly original paintings. Alice draws inspiration from her family's love of cooking and her twin brother is a chef. Her degree was in Art History and she has a penchant for colour theory. Her artist heroes include Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh and Gillian Ayres.

Our Stylist Says
I love this print because it combines bold, playful imagery with a contemporary colour palette, making it a versatile piece. It works particularly well in modern or eclectic interiors, where a pop of colour and a touch of whimsy are welcome. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral walls to let the artwork really stand out, or mixing it with other prints featuring similar blue tones for a cohesive look. It’s also great above a minimalist sideboard or in a relaxed living space to add a quirky focal point without overwhelming the room.

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.
