Our latest collaboration with Ferrari Sheppard, Iris, transforms his original 2022 oil painting of the same name into a shimmering limited edition silkscreen and digital print.
In Iris, Ferrari employs his signature gestural style to depict a solitary figure seated in a field of fluorescent blooms – "a place of her choosing, where she truly belongs". Inspired by the timeless enigma of the Mona Lisa, the artist wanted the portrait to be "contemplative, playful, and enigmatic", inviting the viewer to interpret her emotions for themselves.
To create the edition, printers at Make-Ready translated the luminosity of the figure's blouse (originally painted with 24K gold leaf) by using metallic inks and gold silkscreen layers, achieving a radiant, gilded effect in the print.
