Hand-finished 4 colour screenprint from hand-originated artwork.
The black line image was taken from a wood-block print then transferred to a screen. The background is a gloss relief print taken from vintage wallpaper.
The head and collar ruffle are hand-painted by the artist.
Signed & numbered edition of 100 on 300gsm Smooth (Velino) Canaletto Paper.
50 x 50cm
Printed by Aida:
"The print is an edition of a 100, and is a four colour screen print which was hand finished around the skull and the front of the ruffle. (It actually took nearly 6 hours to hand embellish all the prints!)
This has to be one of my favourite prints that I have done for the artist so far, purely because I have never printed a round print for him and also, I had wanted to really make this print special with layering translucent colours over matt textures as well as printing two-tone glossy effects for a while. I know the photographs look good but if you get a chance make sure you have a good close up look at it in real life!"
