"A Peckham Romance" is a limited edition screen print depicting a love story unfolding on the nail bar lined streets of Peckham.
I like to tell stories in my work and and aim to convey a narrative through a colourful, bold style that expresses character and humour. I build a scene around characters and integrate symbols that enhance their story. I’m interested in the immediacy of how one line relates to another and how a composition can spontaneously come together. I’m becoming evermore interested with the interplay between words and images and how elements such as texture, marks and the layering of materials convey a feeling.
I take my inspiration from an amalgamation of every day life and experience that I witness and see unfold, intermingled with popular culture and iconography. Inspiration can come from anything, be it how I see someone put down paint or make a mark, some wall paper, literature, poetry, a dress, a tree, a texture or colour. My wife’s dance moves.
Created from my original pencil drawing which is then used to produce a hand pulled screen print with two separate overlapping screens using water based inks onto Smooth Somerset Satin 250gsm paper, which shows the colours and the print to a high quality. A third colour is produced where the screens overlap.
This original print is part of a limited edition of 50 prints and is supplied unframed.
Print size is A4 - 297mm x 210mm
