Artwork description:

'Into the Mine' is an early linocut I made in which the silhouette of a miner is caught dramatically against the light that spills into the dark underground setting. On the right hand-side is a coal carriage, with simple line work suggesting a track and the surrounding interior. The effect of light in the darkness imbues the work with a sense of mystery. As the son of a coal-miner myself, I wanted to pay homage to the industrial heritage of the North-East of England and the tough, dangerous work of the miners.

This is a limited edition linocut, printed on beautiful 285gsm Fabriano Rosapina Avorio paper.

Your print will come wrapped in protective tissue paper to reach you in the best condition.
