Description
In the bold contemporary print, artist Jacky Al-Samarraie has used her unique eye to present London's landmarks in a truly eye-catching manner. Featuring a black and white image contrasted against a teal hued Thames, the print showcases the beautiful London city skyline. This effortlessly chic image will bring a splash of colour and style to any wall. The print is presented in a beautiful scored mount, emphasising the texture of the image within, and is in a decorative MDF wrapped frame that has a contemporary black grained wood finish. Jacky Al-Samarraie uses uncomplicated images and adds graphic bright blocks of colour to create an eye-catching design. She developed this style during her degree and created The Art Room company in 2007. Al-Samarraie didn't start life as an artist. She originally pursued a career in Social Services. It wasn't until her children grew up that she went back to develop her creative skills; receiving a first honours degree in Graphic Media Communication from Bradford College of Art Design & Textiles. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this London skyline print because it offers a sleek, modern take on cityscape artwork, making it versatile for a range of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary spaces, such as minimalist living rooms or home offices, where its monochromatic palette can complement neutral tones or monochrome schemes. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple furnishings and adding other black or metallic accents to create a cohesive look. It's also great as a focal point above a sofa or desk, or grouped with other urban-themed artwork for a stylish gallery wall. The size makes it versatile enough for both smaller and larger walls, adding a distinctive touch without overwhelming the space.

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.
