Description
Pride 2022 artworks In celebration of Pride 2022, alongside EAST END PRINTS, John Lewis & Partners have curated a selection of works by LGBTQAI+ artists. Spanning a variety of genres and styles these works express the diversity of the LGBTQAI+ community. This collection is a vibrant, colourful and summery burst of optimism and sunshine. From bold geometric prints to cheeky photography and graphic illustrations, this collection highlights the wealth of creative contributions of LGBTQAI+ artists that we proudly work with. A tropical scene in vibrant colours, 'Tropical Huns' is by artist Ana Jaks. Ana Jaks is a freelance illustrator currently honing her craft out of a studio in Bristol, a space she shares with many other illustrators and designers. Ana's work is predominantly female-led, although her love for inclusivity means he/she/they often feature throughout. Ana's work heavily leans into all things bright, colourful and fun. Ana's queerness wasn't realised until midway through her twenties, and so Pride for her equates to self-love, self-acceptance and self-expression. Being an illustrator can often feel like an ongoing research project to grow stylistically and professionally, and with that growth came a fondness to work on LGBTQIA+ projects. This fondness eventually became a personal realisation. The colourful, celebratory aspect of Ana's portfolio has seen her work with clients such as Nike, Bombay Sapphire, LUSH, Stylist Magazine, The Washington Post and many more. 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. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings? EAST END PRINTS picture frames are usually one of two frame widths: medium frame (2.2cm) and wide frame (3.5cm). The frame width varies across the range.

Our Stylist Says
I love the Ana Jaks 'Tropical Huns' print for its bold, vibrant colours and playful design-that makes it a real statement piece. It works particularly well in lively, eclectic interiors or spaces with natural textures, like rattan or timber accents. For styling, consider pairing it with plain, neutral walls to let the artwork truly stand out, or use it to add a pop of colour to a more subdued scheme. It’s perfect in a living room, bedroom or even a contemporary hallway where you want to inject some fun and personality. A practical tip would be to keep surrounding accessories minimal to allow the print to shine, and consider framing it with a simple wooden or white frame for a clean, modern finish.

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.
