Love Makes the World Go Round is a romantic and uplifting limited edition print by celebrated British contemporary artist Doug Hyde. Known for his heartfelt imagery, playful wit, and ability to capture life's simplest but most meaningful emotions, Hyde has become one of the UK's most collected and admired artists. His works often explore the themes of love, friendship, and connection, making them instantly relatable and deeply personal. With this enchanting artwork, Hyde offers a reminder of the universal force that binds us all: love.
In this limited edition piece, Hyde introduces two of his most beloved characters, who stand hand in hand as a couple in love. Perched on top of the Earth itself, they gaze out across a vast night sky scattered with stars. The scene is beautifully balanced between intimacy and grandeur, placing a private moment of affection against the backdrop of the infinite universe. The words "Love makes the world go round" arc gracefully across the curve of the Earth, reinforcing the central message of the work while adding a lyrical and timeless quality. It is a piece that resonates with universal meaning, celebrating the power of love to uplift, inspire, and connect us all.
Hyde's distinctive style is immediately recognisable: his signature rounded figures, rendered with warmth and tenderness, express emotion with striking simplicity. By stripping away detail and working with soft transitions of colour, Hyde allows viewers to project their own experiences and relationships into the scene. The night sky is depicted with deep tones, creating contrast against the pale glow of the Earth, while the handwritten phrase flows naturally across the composition like a constellation. The result is an artwork that feels both intimate and vast, inviting contemplation while radiating warmth.
Measuring 28 x 19 inches (artwork size) and presented at a substantial 41 x 32 inches when framed, Love Makes the World Go Round has real presence in any setting. Produced as a limited edition of 295, each print is individually hand-signed and numbered by Doug Hyde, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its provenance. The artwork has been created as a limited edition on paper, using the highest-quality giclée printing methods to ensure clarity, richness, and longevity.
This edition is completed in Doug Hyde's signature white box frame, which provides a clean, contemporary finish that perfectly complements the luminous tones of the night sky and the soft, rounded forms of the characters. The substantial scale of the piece, combined with its elegant framing, makes it an impressive statement artwork that can transform a space with both visual impact and emotional resonance.
