Football Rules the World - Poster

Our print “Football Rules the World” transforms a commonplace object into an astonishingly large scale. A traditional black and white football hovers above a tranquil coastal town at dusk. This scene pays tribute to René Magritte, drawing on his surreal technique of playing with scale, gravity and everyday scenes.

On closer inspection, the city grounds the imaginative vision. Rooftops align in a soothing cadence, chimneys form neat rows, while a narrow horizon provides a defined boundary. Overhead, delicate clouds and a subtle colour gradient transition from warm ochre tones into soft pale blue. The football resembles a moon or perhaps a lingering thought refusing to descend. The colour scheme complements both contemporary homes and period features, with hints of sandstone, slate and sea-glass shades that work well across British interiors.
