Gecko and Teapot Ink Print | Japanese Sumi-e Wall Art | Animal Poster

This wall art print features a black ink gecko perched on the lid of a teapot, its tail curling into a tight spiral above the handle. The gecko's wide eyes and splayed toes are rendered with expressive brushstrokes, while the teapot below is built from dense, textured ink washes that suggest a rough ceramic surface. The composition is vertical and centred, with the animal's arched body creating a lively curve against the warm beige background.

The story behind the print

This wall art print features a black ink gecko perched on the lid of a teapot, its tail curling into a tight spiral above the handle. The gecko's wide eyes and splayed toes are rendered with expressive brushstrokes, while the teapot below is built from dense, textured ink washes that suggest a rough ceramic surface. The composition is vertical and centred, with the animal's arched body creating a lively curve against the warm beige background.

Rendered in a sumi-e style, the artwork relies on monochrome black ink and the natural tone of the paper. The gecko's silhouette is defined by quick, gestural lines, while the teapot's body uses heavier, layered strokes to create depth and contrast. A small red seal stamp sits in the lower right corner, adding a traditional touch to the otherwise minimalist palette. The balance between the delicate creature and the solid vessel gives the image a quiet, playful tension.

This print is supplied unframed and is printed to order in the UK on 270 gsm premium satin paper using a 12-colour Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer with authentic Mimaki OEM inks. Each print is rolled and packaged by hand and is available in the configured sizes shown in the Size selector. The artwork is best suited to a kitchen, study, or gallery wall where its Japanese-inspired ink style can be appreciated.
