silver washed fritillary - 6" x 6"
Ideal for: Collectors looking to secure their first cruelty-free ‘specimen’. Bookshelves, alcoves, or curated desk spaces that require a captivating point of detail. Folk who understand the most profound insights can be found in the smallest, most deliberate observations.

A Scientific Jewel: This piece is the quintessential ‘curiosity cabinet’ starter. Because the panel is a mere 6" square, it functions as a jolt of fascination that doesn't demand an entire wall. Instead, it invites the viewer to step in close—an emotional shift in a room's energy from wide-angle to macro-focus. The perfect fit for library shelves or alcoves that feel too uniform or static.
Architectural Illusion: Gavin's mastery of trompe l'oeil creates a pocket of three-dimensional space on a flat wall. By painting the shadows of the wings against that heathery backdrop, he effectively punches a small hole into the masonry. It’s a spatial punctuation that rewards the curious, turning a mundane corner into a sophisticated, miniature museum.
The Symmetrical Balance: The inclusion of both the topside and underside provides a complete biological narrative within a single frame. The contrast between the fiery orange topside and the cool, silvered underside offers a balanced temperature that allows the piece to harmonise with both warm woods and cooler, contemporary paint finishes. It reclaims the Victorian ‘collection’ aesthetic, but strips away the baggage, replacing it with a clean, high-definition thrill of modern precision.
