Retro Gas Mask Wall Art -‘Breathe’

A bold, retro-inspired wall art print featuring four hand illustrated gas masks arranged within a colourful colour block background. The design is finished with the word “Breathe” placed centrally in white lettering, creating a strong focal point within the composition.

Each gas mask is illustrated in a simplified retro style, giving the piece a slightly graphic, poster-like feel rather than a realistic or technical rendering. The repetition of the masks adds structure and rhythm, while the colour blocking brings contrast and energy.

The central “Breathe” text introduces a calmer counterpoint to the visual intensity of the imagery, creating a balance between tension and release.

Printed on premium 230gsm fine art paper using high-quality archival inks, this print is designed to maintain strong colour separation and detail over time. Each piece is made in the UK and packaged using recyclable materials wherever possible, with free UK delivery included.
