About This Art

Most fish prints behave. This one picks a side. The eye is huge, the brushwork is loose, and the whole thing leans into soft pink rather than the usual grey-blue.

Up on the wall, it warms a room without taking it over. The chalky off-white background blends into pale walls, so what you notice is the painterly mark-making and that single dark pupil.

It earns its keep above a kitchen counter, on a narrow dining-room wall, or in an entryway where you want something with a bit of personality without going full statement.

Pair it with pale oak, linen, cream ceramics and brass fittings. A soft pink cushion or tea towel nearby will pull the whole scheme together.

Don't fight it with another loud subject on the same wall — let this one do the talking. Printed on thick fine-art paper with a soft matt finish.

How do I frame an art print?

Good news—you don’t have to!

All of our prints are available professionally framed and ready to hang, so you can skip the trip to the framing shop and get straight to the fun part: styling your space. Here’s more info about our frames and service:

  • Your choice of timeless frames - natural wood, black, white, brown, silver and, of course, gold.
  • We use shatter-resistant acrylic glazing keeping delivery costs down and shielding your print from fading or sun damage—something cheaper glazes just don’t do.
  • Every frame is carefully sealed on the back using acid-free, archival tape —keeping dust and moisture out and your print beautifully preserved.
  • Hanging hardware already attached so just unbox, hang, and enjoy.

Prefer to frame it yourself? That’s totally fine too—we offer unframed prints in standard and A-sizes that fit most frames you can buy.

What makes Fab frames so good?

Not all frames are created equal. Many cheap frames are made with acidic materials or glazes that lack UV protection—meaning your beautiful print could fade, discolor, or deteriorate over time.

At Fab, we do things differently. Our frames are thoughtfully built to preserve and protect your artwork for the long haul. We use FSC-certified wood, 100% acid-free materials, and a UV-protective glaze to keep your print looking vibrant for decades.

That’s why our prints have an 80+ year archival lifespan—no fading, no yellowing, just art you’ll love for years to come.

If you're investing in art you love, it's worth framing it right.

How do I hang art prints?

It’s easier than you think—especially since our framed prints arrive ready to hang straight out of the box.

Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps:

  1. Pick a wall that needs a little love—above a sofa, bed, desk, or entryway works great.

  2. Make sure the space suits the size of your print (our size guide can help). Use painter’s tape or a pencil to mark where you want the top of the frame to sit.

  3. For single prints, aim for eye level (around 57–60 inches from the floor). Every Fab framed print comes with hanging hardware already attached.

Use a picture hook, nail, or adhesive wall strips, depending on your wall type and the weight of the frame. That’s it—your space just got a whole lot more beautiful.

Bonus tip: For a gallery wall, lay your prints on the floor first to plan your layout before committing to the wall

Does it read as a fish straight away, or does it look more abstract?

It reads as a fish — the eye and gill plates are clearly there — but the loose brushwork and oversized crop push it closer to portraiture than to a literal kitchen illustration. From across the room it feels more like a painting with personality than a themed fish print.

Will the soft pink work in a kitchen that's mostly cream and oak?

Yes — the pink is warm and dusty rather than candy or bright, so it sits naturally with cream walls, oak cabinets and brass fittings. It nudges a neutral kitchen toward characterful rather than blank, without committing the whole room to a pink scheme.

Is it better hung high on a wall or closer to counter height?

Closer to counter or sideboard height works best. Because the eye is the focal point, you want it roughly at standing eye-level so it actually meets your gaze as you move past. Hung too high, the impact of that big dark pupil gets lost.
