This coming week, 22 - 28 October 2018, is National Bird Week. Throughout Australia, you can get involved in our largest 'citizen science' project, and help our feathered friends by participating in the Backyard Bird Count.
Our native birds are a source of great inspiration at Signarture, where Kookaburras, Sulphur Crested Cockatoos and Lorikeets regularly come and go from the giant tree outside the studio.
Purchase any artwork from our Aviary collection during Bird Week and we'll donate 5% of the purchase price to Birdlife Australia in your name.
Above is the Pink Cockatoo, also known as Leadbetter's or Major Mitchell's cockatoo. Cacatua leadbeateri to the ornithologists.
This fine art print on perspex above was mounted with satin gold hardware - a special order option where the mounts are plated with 24 carat gold. We love how they offset the stunning soft white and blush pink plumage of this this beautiful and elegant Australian native.
Below is the Black Cockatoo, Calyptorhyncus Banksii, also known as the Banksian or Bank's cockatoo. Not Banksy's. Whilst Banksy has some fine birds amongst his work, as far as we know, he has yet to depict our Australian birds.
Photographed in an outdoor setting in strong sunlight, the transparent perspex medium brings this pair to life, giving them stunning depth of colour and by casting their natural shadows.
Of course if you would like to support the birds but aren't ready to purchase an artwork, you can make a donation directly via this link.
Happy twitching!
Pantone, the global colour authority, have just announced their 'Colour of the Year' for 2018: Ultra Violet 18-3838. Symbolic of the prevalent global culture, the colour of the year is an expression of the collective mood and attitude.
We are living in times that require inventiveness and imagination and, according to the Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, ultra violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future.
The colour is certainly provocative, and dominant. In an interior, it can easily overpower other elements and as such ultra violet requires careful coordination. It is perhaps best used as an accent colour, introduced through decorative elements such as artworks, so as not to overwhelm.
We took inspiration from nature, pairing the an ultra-violet hue with complementary deep oranges and citrus greens when creating new colourways for our popular 'Lhotse' design.
Fittingly, lhotse is a design from our Aura collection, which features organic forms in meditative arrangement. The color is often associated with mindfulness practices, which offer a higher ground to those seeking refuge from today’s over-stimulated world, and the use of purple-toned lighting in meditation spaces and other gathering places energizes the communities that gather there and inspire connection.
As Pantone state, as a color that can take you in so many directions, Ultra Violet makes a statement in any space, whether it’s one of tradition and elegance or contemporary boldness.
Nothing transforms a space faster than colour. The arrival of Spring, and the urge to renovate and refurbish, is the ideal time to consider how to incorporate colours that will make you feel right at home.
Dulux Australia recently released their 2018 Colour Forecast, with the overarching goal of harnessing the transformative power of colour to balance the complexities of everyday life. Whether you're looking to create an environment to help you escape, reconnect, replenish or move forward, there's plenty of inspiration within four new colour palettes.
Of course you don't necessarily have to invest in painting the walls to incorporate your favourite colours or a new colour trend into your home. An alternative route is to maintain a blank canvas and to ring the changes through soft furnishings and decorative items such as cushions, rugs and artworks.
Within our online galleries, our collections present each artworks in several 'ready to hang' colourways but you can also choose to take advantage of our bespoke service to request that we create an artwork that features the colours you love, an exclusive piece.
Unlike fashion, such 'couture' artworks provide you with a point of distinction without a small fortune. We've made it supremely easy to colour customise our artworks to incorporate your favourite hue, and assure you of the accuracy with which this can be achieved.
If you've found inspiration in Dulux's new palettes, or somewhere else, get in touch and lets us help you turn your inspiration in to reality.

Colour is a powerful and emotive force, and we go to great lengths to provide clients with colour assurance because of the potential for disparity between the colour experienced on screen versus that experienced in reality.
Yet, ultimately, experiencing colour is in fact completely dependent on its physical, visual, artistic, and cultural context.
Despite an entire industry’s best efforts to name and codify colours, whether that be with the Pantone, RAL or NCS systems, they constantly shift in response to light and space. An environment can affect a colour as much as a colour affects our environments. It’s the reason why the paint you choose always looks different on a wall than it did on the paint chip.
Colour pigments interact with light and hence colours take on different hues depending on the time of the day and the brightness and temperature of light.
Our brains respond to stimuli produced when incoming light reacts with various cone cells in our eyes, but colours appear differently based on the other colours they’re paired with, the materials they’re used on, the shape of an object or space they are in, and the quality of light.
In the case of natural light, that means colours even change in hue over the course of a single day. A colour might look differently in the warm morning light than it does in the cooler light in the evening or, obviously, the dark. They might change subtly or drastically depending on the pigment.
A wonderful new exhibition at the Design Museum in London, this concept - known scientifically as metamersim - is wonderfully illustrated, not least by a series of multi-faceted vessels by Hella Jongerius.
The angled surfaces each differently capture and reflect the colours of the surfaces they are placed, so each panel appears to be a slightly different hue than its neighbour, even though they are all rendered in the same colour.
So, whilst we believe in providing you with the best colour assurance possible, you might like to reflect on the idea that colours can’t actually be controlled. As the exhibition designer Alex Newson says: “You can select colours based on expected performance, but they will usually surprise you. It’s better to be freer in how we can enjoy colour, and the idiosyncrasies and unexpected elements of colour.”
We're making space for new pieces, which means it's your opportunity to save up to 75% on a variety of perspex and canvas artworks across our collections.
There's only ONE of each of these pieces.

Heavily discounted pieces either have wear and tear, such as scuff marks or chips following exhibition or transit, or are not up to our usual print quality standards. At normal viewing distance, you'll be very happy with the price!
Pieces discounted by 30% may have been on display or to a photoshoot but are pretty well 'as new'.
All are supplied with bolts or strung, ready to hang.
Contact us on 02 8001 6141 for more information about any piece, or to arrange an inspection or delivery.
Bringing the outside in is an enduring trend contributing to Pantone's choice of Greenery as the colour of 2017. If you're lucky enough to be surrounded by lush, natural greenery, then employing floor to ceiling glass or expansive windows to connect you to nature may be all you need.
But where the views are more challenging, and that connection to nature is lost, introducing living green walls, botanically-themed wallpaper, artworks or accent pieces is the way to go.
And whilst painting or wallpapering takes plenty of preparation and a fair chunk of time if you're going to do it yourself, hanging an artwork takes less than an hour, has an immediate impact and a transformative effect on your space.
If you didn't get around to it over the Christmas / New year break, then the four day Easter holiday is often seen as the perfect opportunity to inject some new life into your home - the literal meaning of 'renovate'.
Finding that artwork that you love, complements your colour scheme, and is available in the right size for your space now takes a lot less time. You won't need to walk into a hundred gallery spaces searching for the one.
With our bespoke approach, Signarture solves all your usual artwork dilemmas by making it possible for you to order exactly the combination of artwork / colour / shape and size you need.
If you fall in love with any of our designs, you can very easily make it your own by customising it to suit your space.
There are many more than fifty shades of green, but what ever shade of green you like - fir, spruce, moss, jade, teal, apple, emerald - you'll find they are all super easy to specify.
