Sly Fox Matchbox, Canvas

This canvas features a graphic illustration of a vintage-style matchbook from the "Sly Fox" bar in Asheville, NC. Rendered in a bold, linocut style, the design includes a leaping fox and classic typography, with a row of red-tipped matches neatly exposed. It’s a playful nod to restaurant ephemera and the tactile quality of a treasured souvenir from a favorite haunt.

The stark contrast between the deep black ink, the off-white paper, and the vibrant red match heads gives this piece a strong visual punch. The rough, textured lines of the woodblock technique add an artisanal and rustic quality, enhancing its vintage appeal. This artwork brings a dose of graphic wit and analog character to any space.

An excellent choice for a bar cart area, kitchen, or entryway, this canvas offers a pop of color and personality. It integrates seamlessly into a gallery wall, especially one with a collection of typographic or illustrative art. Style it with dark woods, industrial metal finishes, and leather accents to complement a modern-rustic or eclectic interior.

This piece was created by Valerie Perreault, a poet and printmaker based in the Florida Keys. Known for her cheeky humor and retro charm, Valerie’s work is rich with story and soul. She carves each design by hand into a linoleum block, embracing the meditative, hands-on process and the beautiful imperfections that make each canvas unique.
