Art Historian's Take
Yvette St. Amant — "Spooktacular Books II". This work exemplifies a contemporary engagement with surrealist traditions, where the artist employs a richly textured, illustrative style to explore the intersection of the mundane and the fantastical. The composition is structured around a central, balanced arrangement, with the ghost as the primary focal point, flanked by the two feline figures that introduce a sense of narrative symmetry. The color palette is deliberately chosen to evoke a gothic atmosphere, with deep, saturated blues and blacks forming a somber backdrop that allows the vibrant scarlet of the armchair and the luminous white of the ghost to emerge with dramatic effect. This strategic use of contrast not only enhances the visual impact but also underscores the thematic tension between the spectral and the corporeal. The work's stylistic approach, reminiscent of mid-century graphic illustration, situates it within a broader tradition of narrative art that uses symbolic imagery to convey deeper psychological and cultural meanings. By depicting a ghost engaged in the act of reading—a quintessential human pursuit—St. Amant creates a poignant commentary on the enduring nature of knowledge and the comforting presence of stories, even in the face of the unknown. The piece's interpretive significance lies in its ability to transform a simple, whimsical scene into a richly layered meditation on the human condition, where the act of reading becomes a bridge between the living and the spectral, the known and the mysterious.

Great quality prints

I took a chance and ordered and I’m glad I did. The prints arrived quickly and were well packaged, no damage. The colors and quality of paper look better than expected. I’m very satisfied and would order again. Thank you for great customer service.

Love the artwork

The colors are great for our room. We needed something with the dark teal color. Love the artwork. The artwork however was almost ruined. The delivery person put it out on front stoop in the pouring rain. I would suggest that Decorus put the tube into sealed plastic before inserting into the shipping box.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it—and I’m glad to hear the artwork and colors worked well for your space.

I’m sorry to hear about the delivery experience, that’s always frustrating when carriers leave packages exposed like that.

Since your order and your feedback, we took a big look at how we were packaging prints and ran with your feedback. Since the end of last year we all prints are now rolled and placed inside a protective plastic sleeve before going into the tube, which is then placed in the box, which helps prevent issues like moisture exposure during transit.

We appreciate you calling that out, it’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps us improve.

Cheers,
Shane
