A Good Egg

This painterly still life from Emma Gurner captures a quiet moment of domestic simplicity. Gurner uses a rich, earthy palette of tobacco brown and deep cobalt blue to create a striking tiled backdrop for a humble bowl of eggs. The vibrant lime-green bowl provides a punchy, contemporary contrast to the more traditional textures of the retro tiles. It is a perfect choice for a kitchen or breakfast nook, offering a sense of rustic charm with a modern edge.

Emma Gurner is a London-based artist whose work brings together her fine art roots and years spent in interior design and styling.
