Spring in Print
Grace MiddletonAs we continue into the spring season, we're shifting our focus to all things spring-themed. From iconic spring symbols to themes of renewal, rebirth, purity, fertility, and youth, we'll be exploring the beauty and significance of this season through the lens of art!
To kick off we have chosen to feature Vincent van Gogh, Fishing in Spring, the Pont de Clichy (Asnières). This tranquil scene depicts a fisherman bobbing on the water, painted in calming and complementary spring-time colours.
Next up, we have chosen to feature these beautiful illustrations by Karen Somerfield printed by us. Karen's landscapes capture the essence of spring with curious children discovering the wonders of nature.
Doris Lee's, 'Blossom Time', colour lithograph takes us to a peaceful countryside where blossoming trees, grazing cows and soaring birds create a cute and calming landscape.
Next, we take a moment to appreciate the stunning artwork of Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. His woodblock print "Bullfinch and Weeping Cherry" captures the essence of spring with his masterful use of colours which creates a harmonious and picturesque scene.
Lastly, we have chosen to feature local artist Jon White's 'We Shall Have Spring Again' printed by us here in the studio. Jon's contemporary seascapes transport us to a paradise-like world.
From expressionist paintings to woodblock prints to beautiful spring-themed artworks printed in our print studio, we hope you have enjoyed our spring in print blog. Next month, we'll be exploring colour in art and its significance. In the meantime, let's keep celebrating the power and beauty of art, and don't forget to keep an eye out for our final spring print post!
