A painting that takes the rug out of the interior and places it back in Morocco - in this sun-drenched landscape where it originates from.

Based on an original photograph taken for A New Tribe by collaborator Kane Hulse, this acrylic on natural undyed linen depicts a bold, intricately patterned rug draped against crumbling sandy rock under a vast Moroccan sky. The warmth of the terracotta and deep red against the pale, sun-bleached earth is immediate and luminous - a painting that carries the heat and light of Morocco within it, and brings that quality into any room it inhabits.

Where the Rug Studies series looks closely inward at the rug itself, this painting pulls back to consider the rug in landscape — as an object with a place, a history, and a journey. It is the most narrative of Ella's paintings, and in many ways the most evocative.

Painted in acrylic on natural undyed linen. Sympathetically framed in a warm Sapele wood frame. Signed on the reverse.
