The Pygmalion wallpaper features in the beautiful Giles Deacon for Sanderson collection. Pygmalion, the King of Cyprus who cast a female figure out of ivory to have it brought to life by Aphrodite, is depicted here in this three-metre, four panel mural piece. A single colourway in Alabaster gives way to the decadence of this design, where rococo dolphins, giant artichokes, fennel, garlic bulbs and mollusk shells meet architectural detailing in a Baroque style. Strings of pearls and feathers contrast with stag beetles for the ultimate, decadent contradiction in mural form. Fascinated by the world of Trompe-l’oeil, Giles has captured this sense of an imaginary world, brought together through classical iconography with Surrealism in play. A wonderous sense of theatre, here the curtain is being drawn back to reveal an astonishing panorama with juxtapositions of scale, object versus landscape and a distorted view on classicism.
This design is made up of four 300cm high drops of wallpaper, supplied and printed as one continuous roll measuring 68.5cm in width. The individual drops are indicated by a cut line for ease of hanging. The wallcovering can be tailored to room height by removing any excess from the top and / or bottom of each length.
