Artwork description:

For a while I’ve been experimenting with simplified forms and scrapping the understood norms of perspective or realism and just revel in recreating a jumble of recognised forms such as houses, skyscrapers, parks and rivers and then to begin constructing my own version of a linoprinted city. The added benefit was that I could use up all the hundreds of off cuts of unused lino I’ve had lying around for years.
Here is my first print of London, which I’ve built using individual blocks to make up a area of London which has been inspired by the section where St Paul’s cathedral can be seen from the south side of the Thames.
Please be aware that I print by hand so there will be slight textural anomalies and smudges within the print, but these are a proud mark that what you’ll be receiving is a handmade printed piece and not a computer enhanced digital copy.

Materials used:

Somerset satin 250gsm and oil based inks
