The Picture of Dorian Grey Oscar Wilde Minimalist Poster

This minimalist artwork is inspired by Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey, capturing the themes of vanity, decay, and downfall. At the heart of the piece is a picture frame in Antique Gold, symbolising Dorian’s outward opulence and allure. Inside the frame, four blocks of colour, each angled to create a downward slope, signify Dorian’s moral and physical decay as his soul deteriorates while he outwardly remains youthful. The colour progression from top to bottom represents the stages of Dorian’s hidden corruption: The top block in Light Beige reflects the innocence and purity of Dorian at the beginning. The second block in Dusty Rose hints at the first signs of indulgence and vanity taking hold. The third block in Slate Blue symbolises the deepening corruption, as darker influences take root. The bottom block in Dark Burgundy marks the final stage of decay, representing Dorian’s ultimate demise and the tragic end of his path. Set against a soft cream background, this geometric design captures the descent of Dorian Grey, from innocence to ruin, while maintaining a striking and thought-provoking visual.
