Drawn from Bénédictus’s celebrated 1928 portfolio of decorative motifs, Variation 14 presents a lush arrangement of stylised flowers and foliage organised with the confident geometry of the Art Deco period. Bold outlines contain richly saturated colour fields — deep blues, warm golds, and bursts of crimson — while the overall pattern moves between strict symmetry and organic exuberance. The composition reflects Bénédictus’s textile design background, where repeat motifs must balance visual energy with rhythmic order. The result is maximalist in spirit yet disciplined in execution.

Printed as a canvas art print, the saturated palette gains depth on the cotton surface, the weave lending a subtle texture that recalls the fabric origins of this design tradition. The warm, material quality of this canvas print brings out the richness of the original colour work in a way that feels genuinely tactile and alive.
