Caroline's Pool

Size:69 x 74 in.

Jonjo Elliott’s original painting Caroline’s Pool (63" x 68") invites the viewer into a lush, sunlit interior where art, design, and nature coexist in bold harmony. The composition centres on an open doorway leading to a turquoise pool and a red parasol, framed by swaying palms under a twilight sky. Inside, a vibrant lounge scene unfolds: retro furnishings, richly patterned textiles, and curated books scattered across the space all rendered in Elliott’s distinctive hand.

The pink walls, adorned with leafy motifs, are animated by artworks within artworks, tropical plants, and vases overflowing with stylised blooms. Books referencing Basquiat, Picasso, and art history hint at the intellectual curiosity and creative soul that inhabits this fictional home. From the cushion bearing Picasso’s portrait to the lemon-flecked carpet and heart-covered vase, every object brims with character and warmth.

This piece perfectly captures Jonjo Elliott’s fascination with interiors that tell stories—spaces shaped by memory, travel, and imagination. With his background in screen printing and photography, Elliott layers colour and pattern with confident rhythm. Caroline’s Pool is a joyous reflection of a life lived creatively, a visual diary of sunshine, inspiration, and the deeply personal relationship between home, nature, and art.
