Lobster Red and Opulent Gold at Terrigal Art Gallery
Pop inspired and full of quirky fun — “The Elegant Crustacean” is a fun-sized original painting by Mel Bling at our Terrigal Art Gallery. Measuring 30x30cm (approx. 11.8 x 11.8 inches), this acrylic and gold leaf painting combines a striking pop-red lobster with luxe gold leaf details and design.
Lobster Red and Opulent Gold – Isn’t it gorgeous?!

Part of Mel Bling’s popular Lobster series, this work positions the lobster front and centre, set against a decorative gold leaf design. Her clever balance of playful pop-art energy with timeless sophistication really makes this piece work. Mel explains “it’s a piece designed to turn heads and spark conversation”. It does that very well with several conversations here in the gallery already today.
The artwork is framed in a timber trim frame to suit contemporary or classic interiors. If purchasing online, you will be able to open the parcel and hang it up immediately. When considering interior trends (Dulux paints have just released the palette for 2026) this piece aligns perfectly for 2026 while offering a classic appeal that will stand the test of time. Whether you’re an avid art collector or simply seeking a vibrant feature for your home, this piece offers impact, style, and fun.
