Bornholm Acrylic Wall Tile - Dark Blue

The Colours of Bornholm – ‘Dark Blue Colour Bloc’ – 20 cm x 20 cm Acrylic Wall Tile + Stories

See how the colours of Bornholm come to life with these stunning Acrylic Wall Tiles by Mandy Stacey, part of her ‘The Colours of Bornholm: Colour Blocs’ PhotoArt Series.

‘DARK BLUE COLOUR BLOC’

With four intriguing dark blue images, this stylish PhotoArt brings a little bit of Bornholm magic into your home. Capturing the deep blues of Bornholm’s sky and the Baltic Sea, it is striking on its own, or you can mix-and-match it with any of the other 16 coloured tiles. The Dark Blue tile can act as a neutral or complement other bold shades such as Red, Black, and Orange. Create a “cool blue” effect in your bathroom – the tiles are waterproof – while a wall of 16 glittering, jewel-like tiles is the ultimate colour statement in your home.

Featuring four iconic Bornholm images:

• “BIG BLUE VIEW”: One of the many windmills on Bornholm – the majestic Gudhjem Mill – is in fact the largest mill in Denmark.
• “ROCK POOL”: Down at the harbour in Gudhjem, the clear mirror-blue seawater pools contrast beautifully with the golden rocks.
• “MOONLIT OCEAN”: A magical, mystical ink-blue view – late night over Rønne Harbour.
• “EVENTIDE”: This is Nørresan in Gudhjem, where you can see the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening – and, if you’re lucky, the sea glows with this graduated, starlit blue.

This PhotoArt Series ‘Bornholm Colour Blocs’ celebrates the colours of Bornholm throughout the year, collected into separate colour palettes and produced as individual Wall Tiles. Each colour tile is made up of four of Mandy Stacey’s unique ‘Redefining Colour’ images – where the natural world produces a “colour sample” that she names as if it were a paint shade. And behind every single image is a little story about Bornholm – included as a print-out.

With 17 different Wall Tiles to choose from, you can experience the beautiful colours and timeless spirit of Bornholm in this new, stylish format. The Acrylic material adds a rich depth to the colours, the high-gloss finish makes them appear lit from within, and the innovative hidden mount makes each tile “float” on your wall.

The tiles are lightweight and need no further framing – simply pop them on your wall with the 3M stickers already placed on the back of the mount. Small and beautiful, like a coloured gemstone, they fit anywhere as a single piece – or you can create your own colour combination by mixing and matching to suit your individual taste and home décor.

Product details: Individually made Acrylic Wall Tile with high-quality photo print behind a 3mm thick glossy Acrylic panel with polished edges. Mounted on an 11.5 cm x 11.5 cm hard foam block, with four corner 3M peel-off stickers that do not damage your wall. Moisture, scratch and UV resistant.
Size: 20 cm x 20 cm square.
Further information: Simple “How to Mount, Move and Care for your Acrylic Tile” instructions are included.

FACTFILE:

• ‘Bornholm Colour Blocs’ were developed from Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt Series The Colours Of Bornholm: In All Four Seasons, which is on display in her Gallery The House Of Many Colours in Allinge, in a 100 cm x 100 cm backlit interactive format where visitors can select and listen to the stories.
• Mandy Stacey said this about the original exhibition piece, which shares the same colour palettes:

“I fell in love with Bornholm in the summer of 2022. It was easy. The vibrant colours, the breathtaking beauty of nature, the ageless charm of the place. And then I discovered the famous artist Oluf Høst’s paintings of Bornholm, capturing the same scenes in the same bright colours, and it inspired me to create a PhotoArt Series celebrating the colours of Bornholm in all four seasons.”

• Her interest in Oluf Høst led to an exhibition in the Oluf Høst Museum in 2023, using her PhotoArt to tell the moving story of the artist’s son Ole W. Høst, who tragically died in WWII.
• Mandy Stacey is an English artist now living permanently in Allinge, Bornholm, with her Danish husband and business partner Curt Stavis.
• She also has a permanent exhibition of The Colours of Bornholm PhotoArt at Bornholm’s Airport.
