“Dreaming of Holidays” – Limited Edition Reduction Lino Cut by Kirstie Dedman

“Dreaming of Holidays” is a contemporary reduction lino cut print by artist Kirstie Dedman, inspired by the iconic swimming pools, modernist architecture, and colourful mid-century style of Palm Springs, California. This vibrant poolside artwork captures the essence of sunshine, relaxation, and escapism, making it an ideal statement piece for anyone who loves bold modern art, summer-inspired wall décor, or Palm Springs aesthetics.

The composition features a bright yellow sun lounger, a sculptural potted plant, and the shimmering blue water of a classic American pool. Colour blocking, high-contrast tones, and clean geometric shapes evokes the heat and nostalgia of desert holidays. The interplay of shadows and reflections—including elongated poolside shadows and mirrored forms in the water—adds depth and atmosphere, giving the artwork a distinctly cinematic, sun-soaked quality.

Created using the reduction lino printing technique, this piece is hand-printed in multiple layers from a single block, showcasing the craftsmanship and precision behind the process. The printed image area measures 60 cm x 42 cm, on 300gsm Fabriano Rosaspina paper with a full paper size of 66.5 cm x 47 cm. Rich, long-lasting oil-based Caligo inks give the colours exceptional vibrancy and durability.

This is a very limited edition of just 6 prints, making it a rare collectable for lovers of modern prints, contemporary printmaking, and Palm Springs-inspired art. Perfect for brightening living rooms, creative spaces, or holiday homes, “Dreaming of Holidays” brings a splash of sunshine to any interior.
