Artwork description
UNFRAMED VERSION: A wood engraving showing the Houses of Parliament, as viewed from Victoria Embankment and framed by one of George John Vulliamy's iconic 'dolphin' lamp standards. These lamps - which despite their name depict intertwined sturgeon - line both sides of the Thames in central London.
Note: actual image size is 13x18cm. The piece is printed on a larger piece of paper to allow for mounting and framing. A framed print from the edition is also available via Artfinder.
Wood engraving is a form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.
Materials used:
Wood engraving, ink on paper
Details:
- Etchings & engravings on Paper
- From a limited edition of 100
- Size: 31 x 18cm (unframed)
- Signed and numbered on the front
- Style: Graphic, illustrative and typographic
- Subject: Architecture and cityscapes
