It's all going to be OK. A positive typographical print by Marcus Walters. This fine art-quality print on 210gsm acid-free archival paper is framed in obeche wood in a choice of finishes. The acrylic glaze is light in weight and optically the same as glass. Ready to hang on your wall, it's made in the UK in an exclusive size for John Lewis & Partners.

Since graduating from Central Saint Martins School of Art in London he has art directed magazines, founded a graphic design agency, launched his own fashion and homewares brands, exhibited artwork at galleries across the world and collaborated with some of the biggest brands in the world. Marcus's work is easily identifiable by his reductive graphic style and colourful optimistic imagery.

Our Stylist Says
I really like the Marcus Walters ‘OK’ print for its bold simplicity and punch of colour. It works well in contemporary interiors, especially spaces that benefit from a vibrant focal point-such as a living room or bedroom. Its sizeable format makes it ideal for wall galleries or as a statement piece above a sofa or bed. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with neutral or pared-back surroundings to let the artwork stand out, or incorporate pink accents in cushions or accessories to create visual cohesion. Framing it in a sleek black border adds a modern touch, making it versatile enough to work in eclectic, minimalist, or even pop colour schemes.

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.
