Artwork description:
Over the last year I’ve been cutting and collecting a small hoard of little linocut heads. I have a slight obsession with examining faces and the sheer variety of differences you find though I didn’t want to get caught up in these details so I decided to simplify them to black and white and only the profiles and so began my growing hoard of heads. I’ve also had fun by adding fruit (and colour), as well as a nod to my Brazilian roots by remembering Carmen Miranda which sparked the inspiration for these Fruit Heads.
This will be a very limited and variable edition of only 20.
Please be aware that as this is a handmade print that there will be slight marks and textural anomalies in the artwork. I have left the paper size quite large, but the artwork can easily be cut to size when framing.
Materials used:
Oil based ink Somerset satin 250gsm
