Description
A framed reproduction print of 'Spiral Motif in Green, Violet, Blue and Gold: the Coast of the Inland Sea', 1950, by Victor Pasmore, 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. Edwin John Victor Pasmore (1908–1998), CH, CBE was a British artist and architect who pioneered the development of abstract art in Britain in the 1940s and 1950s. He studied painting part-time at the Central School of Art in London and helped form the Euston Road School. After experimenting with abstraction, Pasmore worked in a lyrical figurative style, painting views of the River Thames from Hammersmith, much in the style of Turner and Whistler. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this artwork because it adds a modern, yet thoughtful touch to a room with its subtle colours and geometric lines. The spiral motif creates a sense of movement that works well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, especially when paired with clean-lined furniture and neutral palettes. It’s versatile enough to sit above a sofa or mantelpiece, and works well in both living rooms and bedrooms. For styling, consider placing it with other abstract pieces or in a gallery wall to bring a curated feel, and pair it with simple, monochrome surrounds to let the artwork stand out. The 53 x 63cm size makes it a good focal point 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.
