I needed another outlet creatively and having a kid just opened up so many things for me. Once I had my little boy I started to create imagery that was about being a little boy. Growing up and just playing around with ideas.

Our Notes

Gilded Lily - Gold Leaf is an arresting artwork by the street artist Donk. Inspired by the phrase ‘to guild the lily', this artwork explores the human tendency to over-embellish our experiences. The use of gold creates a striking contrast between the dark background and the lily at its centre and draws our attention to the beauty of the flower. We love how Donk has included drips of paint in this artwork, evoking the spontaneous nature of street art.

The powerful appearance of this artwork and its luxurious gold leaf make it the perfect statement piece that is sure to impress your friends.

Additional Information:

Donk says that he has always liked the expression 'To Gild the Lily', which comes from the derivation of Shakespeare's verse, and expresses the very human impulse to over embellish or improve something unnecessarily.

"To gild refined Gold, to paint the Lily, to throw perfume on the Violet, to smooth Ice, or add another hue to the Rainbow."
