Description
A framed print of an untitled 1997 abstract work by Jean Spencer, from the Tate collection. Made in the UK exclusively for John Lewis. The black frame is made of FSC-certified solid ayous wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Framed with a card mount and glass front, it arrives ready to hang on your wall. Jean Spencer (1942–1998) was known for her abstract paintings and relief sculptures. She created her first abstract reliefs while a student at Bath School of Art, where she had been introduced to systematic constructivism. After teaching for 20 years, Spencer joined the faculty of the Slade School of Fine Art. Her first solo exhibition was at the Bear Lane Gallery, Oxford in 1965, the second at the University of Sussex, in 1969. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
This print is a sleek, contemporary piece that works well in modern and minimalist interiors. Its bold colour blocks and clean lines make it a versatile statement that can add depth to a neutral scheme or complement other colourful accents. I love it for space above sofas or beds, where its simplicity can anchor a room. When styling, consider pairing it with simple, understated furniture to let the artwork stand out, or combine it with other geometric pieces for a cohesive look. The wood frame adds warmth, making it suitable for both urban and Scandi-inspired spaces, while the size makes it perfect for filling a focal wall 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.
