The Audubon Collection

Monday, June 12, 2017 — Bringing avant-garde design concepts and refined works to the world of walls, the latest collection by Murals Wallpaper features several stunning 19th-century pieces, hand-picked from J.J. Audubon’s Birds of America artworks. Using methods of copper engraving, watercolouring and gouache, Audubon depicted every American bird in remarkable detail, and Murals Wallpaper have brought his most breathtaking creations to life as stylishly statement murals.

Avifauna Aesthetics

Hand-crafted and coloured by famed 1800s ornithologist J.J. Audubon, The Birds of America is a compilation of immensely intricate works that took almost a lifetime to complete. The pieces are renowned for attention to shading and colouring details that give the birds an almost 3D aspect, as well as their superb life-like accuracy.

The contrasts between the pops of vivid, exotic colour in the feathers of the Pink Flamingo and Scarlet Ibis and the subtle, muted palettes found in the watercolour-wash landscape backdrops strike a harmonious balance between the rich and the minimal that is neoclassical in aesthetic and clarity.

This Murals Wallpaper collection features six Audubon pieces, all of which are made bespoke to perfectly fit any wall and create a larger-than-life, stand out work of wall art that sets a luxe tone in the home.
