‘Six!’ is a stylish and unique full-size pocket square in silk and has been created in collaboration with contemporary Australian artist Helen Cooper, who describes herself as a ‘tonal impressionist’. Helen likes to work ‘alla prima’, where wet paint is applied on top of wet paint, and this adds a freshness to the carefully observed colours in her impressionist works.
Created in oils on one of her trademark small size canvases, Helen's original work was inspired by her passion for cricket and captures the power and beauty of a perfectly executed shot over the boundary ropes for six.
The artwork is reproduced with a good balance of colour between the printed and reverse sides of the silk pocket square so works perfectly with any pocket square fold. The image is framed by the pocket square’s off-white border and coral-coloured hand-rolled & hand-sewn hem.
'Six!' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the high-quality cricket silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and her vibrant artwork.
