Little Fox (2020)Linocut
by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

Such a shy creature, every time I see him it feels like I was given a gift.

An 8 color linocut reduction, I cut away areas for each pull through the press, with 8 colors the print has been through the press 8 times, so slow and laborious it might be, but by far my favorite way of printing as there are surprises along the way, how the colors play together, and the final color to finish the whole print. I make my reductions in very short editions, only 15 prints in this case. When I am done, the lino plate is so cut away that it is rare I can print from it again, so this technique is also called lost plate.

I have signed, titled and numbered the print on the front, please note you might not receive the number in the photo.

Little Fox measures 39 cm x 46 cm (15" x 18") in actual printed area and
50 cm x 54 cm (20" x 21") in paper area, it fits standard frames with a custom mat.

I ship from my studio in the south of Denmark with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely (see my many happy reviews).

Thanks for looking,
Mariann
