Artwork description:

I’ve long been fascinated with surface pattern and tying it in with simple two tone shapes. Here I worked on how to reduce all line and create a whole image into just positive and negative shapes.
In this piece I have brought many of my favourite subject matters such as plants and animals with a few nudes thrown in to make this magical pattern.
At the top of the print there is part of the quote by Sir David Attenborough:
“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth Living.”
This will be a limited edition of 20 and I will be experimenting with colours and layering as I go along with the print run.
There are only one printed with these three Spring inspired colours which have been layered to give extra movement and an added dimension to the image.
Please be aware that as this is a handmade linocut print that there will be slight textural anomalies and marks on the margins of the artwork; to me these are all signs that the piece is handcrafted by the artist and not a digitally enhanced computerised image.

Materials used:

Somerset satin 250gsm and oil based inks
