Description

Trees on water, Original multi-colour lino relief print, 6x6
By Gesa Helms
Original lino relief print in 3 colours
Format: 15x15 cm (6x6”)
Medium: Lino relief print (lime green, ultramarine blue and black)
Support: Fine art Japanese paper

Trees on water is an original hand-pulled relief print with three separate blocks of lino printed on top of each other. I am using artist quality oil-based inks and high quality paper (acid-free, 50g, Japanese paper).

The size of the image is 15x15cm with a border around. As with traditional printmaking, the borders are hand-torn to indicate the authenticity of an artist print.

The print is signed, titled and editioned (4/4) on the front. This print is part of an edition of four exploring different alignments of layers and additional marking.

The scene is based on a series of plein-air sketches and pastel drawings of a winter landscape: trees against the horizon and a small pond with reflections. I did these sketches last winter in north-west Germany where I grew up. Part of the series is an exploration of stillness – here I have found the graphic nature of traditional linoprinting an exciting medium to explore and develop the original sketches.

The print will be securely packaged and posted.
