Artwork description:

The Illusion of Freedom: the minotaur labyrinth

Edition of only 10 exclusive signed prints

Style: Graphic. Minimalist. Line. Red. Transparent colour. Geometric. Optical.

One of a series of prints based on using the square/pyramid/cone format to create strong forms, patterns and optical elements. These prints connect to the 'Traps' series I've been producing this all this year. The Labyrinth was an elaborate, confusing structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, the monster eventually killed by the hero Theseus. My maze design is based on one found on a greek coin.

All my artwork is drawn directly into the computer (no scans or photographs) using vector lines and curves. The finished artwork is printed out as a high quality limited edition Giclée print.

This is an original digital artwork. The above image is taken directly from the image file, rather than being photographed or reproduction of the final print.

Printed colours can vary slightly from those produced by a computer screen.

Your print will wrapped in layers of acid free tissue then rolled into a strong cardboard tube for posting along with a letter from the artist.

By default the print is cut with a 1.5 cm white border. If you wish your print to be cut to the edge of the image let me know.

Materials used:

vector software on a laptop, output on high quality 250gsm matt paper
