About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, this original poster reflects the studio’s passion for translating real-world locations into evocative graphic art. Drawing inspiration from the tradition of vintage travel and city posters, MORYARTY’s approach emphasizes clarity, rhythm, and a sense of place. The studio’s work often celebrates the everyday rituals that shape urban life, using bold design to capture fleeting moments and local character.
With Flower Market Columbia Road, MORYARTY pays homage to one of London’s most beloved Sunday traditions, distilling the energy of the market into a contemporary visual memory that resonates with both locals and admirers of city culture.
The Artwork
Columbia Road’s flower market is a vibrant weekly event in East London, where the street transforms into a lively corridor of color and fragrance. This artwork is inspired by the communal experience of browsing the market, selecting fresh blooms, and bringing a piece of the city’s vitality home. Rather than depicting the street itself, the poster focuses on the ritual of choosing flowers and the simple joy they bring to daily life.
By referencing the tradition of market posters and urban scenes, the piece evokes a sense of abundance and movement, inviting viewers to recall their own encounters with markets and the pleasure of fresh flowers indoors. It is a visual celebration of London’s creative spirit and the beauty found in ordinary routines.
Style & Characteristics
The design features a stylized bouquet arranged in a vase, composed of bold, flattened shapes that suggest petals and leaves. The composition uses generous negative space to maintain an airy, uncluttered feel, while crisp outlines and interlocking forms create a strong graphic presence. The palette includes white, orange, purple, blue, green, pink, and red, resulting in a lively and modern contrast that energizes the scene.
This contemporary poster style bridges vintage inspiration with modern minimalism, making it suitable for lovers of abstract art and those drawn to botanical prints. The mood is bright and uplifting, perfect for contemporary interiors.
In Interior Design
This floral poster brings a cheerful accent to kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, or workspaces, echoing the rhythms of daily life. Its clean lines and vibrant colors complement modern, Scandinavian, or eclectic decor, offering a focal point without overwhelming the space.
Pair with light woods, neutral tones, or a wall color drawn from the bouquet for a harmonious look. For a polished finish, frame the poster with one of our frames to highlight its graphic elegance in any contemporary home.
