Swan Chestnut is a work by London artist Hugh Hamshaw Thomas. The original artwork is based on a photograph taken on the edge of lake landscaped by Humphry Repton (1752-1818). The artwork presents itself as if it were a piece of wallpaper or fabric in the Toile de Jouy style – seemingly of a similar period to the work undertaken by Repton. By presenting the image duplicitously as a photograph in a style belonging to the decorative arts, Hamshaw Thomas fuses themes of romantic melancholia, the bucolic and Arcadian with his interest in layering of histories, narratives and remembrance.

About murals:

Custom murals transform a blank wall, into a giant work of art.  They are printed on normal wallpaper and easy to install. But unlike traditional wallpaper which has a small pattern repeating many times, a mural has a single pattern/design which we scale and print to perfectly fit your wall.  

It's wallpaper, but at a whole new scale. The result is a room you will love and all your visitors will envy.

To order the mural, measure your wall and enter the dimensions in the calcuator above.
