Price History
Description
Acrylic on wood works to lament the decline of the art of handwriting in an increasingly digital world. About the artist Studying and then teaching at The Essential School of Painting, Johanna Melvin is an abstract painter living and working in east London. She specialises in building up fine layers of bright colours to create pieces that take inspiration from the objects and places she finds in suburbia.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece because it offers a contemporary take on introspection, making it a compelling focal point. The bold, abstract brushstrokes combined with softer, muted tones give it versatility-it works well in minimalist interiors as a statement wall piece, or in more eclectic spaces to add depth and dialogue. When styling, consider pairing it with textured materials like woven throws or natural wood furniture to ground the artwork. It’s also worth framing this work simply to let the colours and texture speak for themselves, and hanging it at eye level will ensure it makes the intended impact. Overall, it’s a great addition for creating a thought-provoking atmosphere in living rooms, studies, or gallery-like corridors.

Soho Home's journey began from a simple love for their unique designs. The brand's inception was sparked by guests' desires to take a piece of Soho Houses with them, cherishing their favourite items from these comforting spaces.
This led to the birth of Soho Home in 2016 with their Barwell crystal glassware. Fast forward, the brand has expanded beyond just a few staples, encompassing a wide array of interior items ranging from furniture and tableware to home fragrances and textiles.
