Description
An expressive abstract print, 'Semblance I' by artist Natasha Barnes. Made in the UK, it's glazed and framed, ready to hang on your wall. Natasha Barnes is a self-taught fine artist from South Africa. Her natural talent and pure passion for painting have led Natasha to develop a profound style reflective of expressionism. The artist's dynamic marriage of colour and texture, created via sophisticated mark making, evokes a sense of fluidity, movement and a sense of a ‘journey' in every piece. Natasha paints in water-based mediums and her inspirations often stem from her travels. Earthy tones reflect her South African roots and application is thick and sometimes textured. Her subject dictates the flow of the paint and forms take on an element of the unreal, moving into the world of abstraction. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I really like this one - Natasha’s 'Semblance I' adds a dynamic splash of colour and energy, making it a versatile piece for contemporary or eclectic interiors. Its size works well as a focal point above a sofa or sideboard, especially when paired with simple, neutral furnishings to let the artwork stand out. The frame keeps it looking polished and modern, ideal for minimalist spaces, but it also complements layered, more vibrant schemes. For styled displays, consider pairing it with other abstract artworks or textured accessories in blue, grey, or metallic tones to create cohesion. It's a practical piece that adds personality without overwhelming the space, perfect for those looking to make a statement with subtle sophistication.

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.
