    A unique abstract monotype by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, dated 2021 and beautifully presented in a white card mount and framed behind glass.

    The composition features a mini seascape, using a rich Prussian blue against handmade papers and finished with gold. Dancing Waves is a small monotype, exploring how the process of monotype and particularly the removing and layering of ink can form semi recognisable seascapes. Although not based on a specific place, the movement of the ink makes this imaginary seascape remind you of dancing waves. This monotype is 1/1 , making it entirely unique.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

  • Into the Wild

    £300

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A unique abstract monotype by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, dated 2022 and beautifully presented in a white card mount and framed behind glass.

    Into the wild is a monotype which creates a sense of a stormy sea, using chine-collé against the black ink. This was made using dampened paper and etching ink, whilst the lokta paper for the chine-collé  attached using a rice paste as it is rolled with the plate through the press. This process has given the monotype great depth and texture.

    £385

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well presented mid century limited edition (1/211) colour lithograph, signed and numbered in pencil by Swedish artist Curt Hillfon.

    The artist has used shadows and tonal graduation to alter our sense of perspective in this abstract composition. Geometric shapes interact with each other in an interesting way, which is very pleasing on the eye.

    This mid century print is housed behind glass in a complementary simple gilt frame and wide mount. There is some minor scuffing to the lower frame edges as shown, but this does not detract from the overall appearance. The print is in excellent vintage condition and presented very nicely.

  • A Snake in the Grass

    Sold

    SOLD

    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)

  • Interrupted

    Sold

    SOLD

    A fun and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    This monoprint is created from two individual stencils, layered to create a dynamic interaction of line, form and colour. Where the shapes overlap, the rich, oil-based inks merge to produce unique hues, adding depth and vibrancy. Variations in the transparency and thickness of ink contribute texture, enhancing the layered conversation between the materials and the composition’s visual elements.

  • Movement

    Sold

    SOLD

    A fun and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    This monoprint is created from three stencils layered on top of one another, each in a different colour and of different forms. When examined closely, there is a lovely complexity to the artwork as the thickness of the ink of the final layer (dark blue) almost has a three dimensional quality, yet it is more transparent compared to the green opaque layer beneath. The mixture of the curved and straight lines accentuate one another through their contrasts.

  • Untitled

    Sold

    SOLD

    A unique abstract collograph by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, executed with carbon black oil on fabriano printmaking paper, and beautifully presented in a double card mount with blue detail, within a gilt frame.

    This collograph is described as such because the base of the plate is cardboard rather than metal. Frances would have started with a shiny surface, carving away to reveal the matt surface underneath. This is an intaglio method where the ink stays within the recess, once the plate is sealed and inked up it is then printed through a press; a heavy metal roller on a flat bed. The pressure transfers the print onto dampened paper. With this particular print Frances used papers and texture to add colour while the plate was printed in carbon black oil based ink on fabriano printmaking paper. She decided to only print this plate once which is why it’s a 1/1 , making it entirely unique.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

  • Three Graces

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century original coloured lithograph by the Italian artist Marino Marini, titled ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’, printed by the well known French printers studio Mourlot in Paris in 1973.

    ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’ (The Rite of Spring) is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was the source of inspiration for this artwork by Marini.

    One of Italy’s most celebrated sculptors of the 20th century, Marino Marini primarily produced figurative bronze sculptures, though his practice also included paintings, drawings and etchings. Marini drew on the tradition of Etruscan and northern European sculpture, reinterpreting classical themes such as the female nude, the portrait bust, and the equestrian figure, which he combined with aspects of modernism—in particular exaggerated and elongated forms. Towards the end of his career Marini’s sometimes-monumental sculptures became increasingly abstracted. On trips to Paris and New York, he associated with Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Arp, Max Beckmann, and Alexander Calder, among other major modernist artists.

    This coloured lithograph is housed in a simple gilt frame that suits it perfectly. The print is framed behind glass. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

    The artist uses  tonal gradation, outlines, and shapes to create this playful composition. The figure is fragmented into several three dimensional forms, and plays on optical illusion. The artist converges the shadows of the figure with its three dimensional form, teasing our eyes which weave in and out of the shapes.

    This mid century print is laid onto a white mount, and housed behind glass in a very complementary gilt frame. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Smile

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully fun and playful original artist’s proof lithograph, signed by Leif Sylvester and inscribed ‘E.A’ (épreuve d’artiste) to the bottom.

    An artist proof print has a connection to limited edition prints. These prints are used as a test print by the artist and kept for their personal collection. Traditionally the artist would take the proof straight off the printing press and amend the colours and quality. Then, once the artist was happy with the proof, they would then proceed with the limited edition print.

    Artist Proofs are generally valued higher than other prints in the edition, due to the rarity and small quantity of them. Oftentimes the Artist Proof are altered from the final edition, creating a uniqueness to them that is very desirable.

    This lithograph is housed behind glass in a complementary silver frame. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.
