Sett In Their Ways by Angus Gardner

Bring charm, character, and a touch of playful British wit into your space with Sett In Their Ways, a striking artwork by Angus Gardner. This imaginative piece reimagines the secretive world of the badger—one of the UK’s most elusive nocturnal creatures—through a wonderfully human, old-fashioned lens.

The artwork portrays a distinguished badger patriarch seated proudly in a richly panelled, ancestral underground home. Dressed in classic tailoring, complete with waistcoat and flat cap, he embodies a bygone era of stiff collars, slow routines, and unquestioned hierarchy. Behind him, other members of the sett add depth to the story, creating a scene that feels as much like a 1920s family portrait as it does a whimsical interpretation of wildlife life.Rendered in a timeless monochrome palette, the piece blends refined detail with narrative intrigue. The warm lighting of antique lamps and the subtle textures of wood panelling enhance the sense of history and tradition, while the anthropomorphic portrayal invites a smile—and perhaps a second look.

Sett In Their Ways is perfect for lovers of quirky storytelling, wildlife with personality, and interiors that blend sophistication with a hint of humour. It’s an artwork that captures attention, starts conversations, and brings a unique narrative presence to any wall.
