About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, Flower Market - Cape Town is part of a contemporary series that reimagines botanical subjects for modern interiors. MORYARTY originals are designed to harmonize bold color, clean shapes, and a sense of vibrant energy, reflecting today’s design sensibilities.
This piece draws inspiration from the lively spirit of Cape Town’s markets and the enduring appeal of mid-century graphic design. Rather than replicating vintage botanical plates, it offers a fresh perspective, blending the immediacy of travel posters with the timeless allure of floral motifs. For more contemporary designs, see our curated poster selection.
The Artwork
Cape Town’s flower markets are celebrated gathering places, where the exchange of seasonal blooms is woven into daily life and local culture. This artwork captures that essence by focusing on the bird of paradise, a flower deeply associated with South African identity and hospitality.
Designed in 2013, the print evokes the feeling of a modern souvenir, distilling the vibrancy of the market into a single, iconic image. It serves as a tribute to the abundance, warmth, and dynamic spirit found in these communal spaces, offering a contemporary twist on the tradition of travel and botanical posters.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features a stylized bird of paradise flower, constructed from bold, interlocking shapes and crisp, flat color fields. The design employs a high-contrast palette of purple, yellow, green, orange, and blue, creating a lively and inviting mood.
With its abstracted forms and poster-like clarity, the artwork bridges the worlds of botanical prints and abstract wall art. The result is a striking visual statement that energizes contemporary interiors and stands out as a focal point in any modern space.
In Interior Design
This botanical poster is ideal for rooms seeking a bold centerpiece, such as living rooms, kitchens, studios, or creative workspaces. Its graphic simplicity complements minimalist furniture and mid-century accents, providing a confident pop of color without overwhelming the decor.
To enhance the effect, consider echoing one of the artwork’s hues in your textiles or ceramics, while keeping surrounding walls neutral in white, sand, or warm grey. The piece also pairs beautifully with natural materials like rattan and oak, and can be elegantly displayed using options from our frames collection.
