Description
An expressive abstract print, 'Semblance II' 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, as the 'Semblance II' print offers a dynamic visual impact with its vibrant blue and multi-tonal palette. Its modern abstract design makes it versatile - it works well in contemporary living spaces, home offices, or even bedroom settings where a splash of colour can invigorate the decor. For styling, consider framing it with simple, sleek surrounds like a black or white frame to let the artwork stand out, and pair it with cushions or soft furnishings in coordinating shades for a cohesive look. Its size lends itself well to wall spaces above sofas or beds, or as a focal piece in a gallery wall arrangement. Overall, it’s an accessible yet striking addition for those wanting to elevate their interior with a bit of artistic flair.

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.
