We Should Be Dancing is a joyful and uplifting limited edition artwork by acclaimed British artist and illustrator Anna Wright. Known for her delightful depictions of animals brimming with charm and personality, Wright brings together her love of illustration, textiles, and humour to create pieces that radiate warmth and individuality. Her instantly recognisable style combines ink drawing, collage, and fabric, celebrating both the beauty and the eccentricity of the natural world. With We Should Be Dancing, Wright invites viewers to share in a moment of unbridled happiness and movement, capturing the simple joy of life through her signature wit and creativity.
In this limited edition giclée print, a lively parade of animals dances across the page in a playful line. Among them are a tortoise, a hedgehog, and several other wonderfully expressive creatures, each imbued with their own distinct character. Butterflies flutter above the group, adding a sense of rhythm and motion to the composition, as though the entire scene is caught mid-celebration. True to Wright's style, every figure is brought to life through her clever use of fabric collage - patterned textiles create richly textured bodies, while her delicate ink outlines define form and movement with grace and spontaneity.
Touches of metallic gold shimmer across the artwork, highlighting beaks, feathers, and other small details. These flourishes lend a sense of light and luxury to the piece without detracting from its playful energy. The colour palette is harmonious yet spirited, balancing the natural tones of the animals with the vibrancy of patterned fabric and glints of gold. The result is a composition that feels joyous, animated, and full of personality.
Framed in a brushed gold contemporary moulding, We Should Be Dancing is beautifully presented to enhance the warm, celebratory feel of the piece. The frame's subtle sheen complements the golden accents within the artwork, while its clean lines offer a modern touch that suits both classic and contemporary interiors. Together, the artwork and frame create a striking visual statement - one that radiates optimism and charm.
