A fun and edgy one-off original digitally manipulated monoprint sandwiched between a custom perspex frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.
This is a digital monoprint (only one exists, it is original and one-of-a-kind) of a scanned in monoprint, which was digitally edited and manipulated. Through the digital editing process Olivia is able to have greater control over the specific colours and textures, emphasising the textural quality of the ink, increasing the scale and saturating the colours, creating a more dynamic dialogue between the lines, forms and colours.
The light qualities of the perspex frame (a frosted green back panel and a tinted clear yellow front) work with the colours within the piece, making the image seem different in every lighting condition. The coloured perspex frames reflect the playful approach Olivia takes when creating each piece. Everything she does is completely unique and different every time.
This composition explores juxtapositions, both formally and conceptually, between two different environments – the urban city and the rural countryside. The straight and angled lines allude to the urban cityscape, while the curved and more organic forms are remiscnent of the rolling countryside. Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.
This digitally manipulated monoprint is presented within two layers of coloured perspex that are part of the artistic process. The perspex frames are custom made to accompany the print that is in them – the colours of the front and back panels are chosen to compliment and work with the colours in the print. Spilt batons are on the reverse so it is easily attachable to the wall and they are positioned in all four directions on the reverse, so that you can choose the direction it is hung. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.
Size: 44.2 x 61.9 cm (including frame)
