This month, we're turning our creative lens to celebrate the vibrant season of summer with “Summer in Print: Art Inspired by the Season”. Featuring iconic artists and showcasing works printed in our own studio, this blog edition is a visual feast for lovers of art and summer alike.
From timeless classics to cutting-edge contemporary pieces, our showcase encompasses a variety of artworks that embody summer themes, content, and vibrant colours, with a main focus on summer scenes. Let's dive into some of the highlights from our collection:
Elizabeth Rose's Stunning Landscapes
One standout piece is a breathtaking landscape by Elizabeth Rose, which captures a field of wildflowers in full bloom. This work, printed right here in our studio, perfectly encapsulates the beauty and serenity of a summer meadow. The vibrant hues and delicate details bring the scene to life, evoking the warm, gentle breezes and the sweet scent of wildflowers.
Edgar Degas' 'Plage à Marée Basse' (1869)
Next, we spotlight Edgar Degas' 'Plage à Marée Basse' (1869), a serene pastel landscape of a tranquil beach. This masterpiece embodies the peaceful and contemplative side of summer, transporting viewers to a calm and quiet shoreline. Degas' soft strokes and subtle colour palette capture the essence of a serene summer day by the sea.
Donna's Beach Landscapes
We are also thrilled to feature Donna from Artisan Home Delights and her stunning new collection of seaside watercolour paintings. Based on the North Wales coast, Donna's series showcases the newly built fishing platform, refurbished pier, and promenade in Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay, and Old Colwyn.
Katie Dyer's Summer Scenes
We love these colourful, vibrant paintings by Katie's Design House, printed by us! Katie's works are a celebration of summer's lively spirit, with bold colours and dynamic compositions that capture the joy and energy of the season.
Ekaterina Findlay's Abstract Summer
Ekaterina Findlay, an abstract artist from Devon, UK, creates artworks that transport us to serene and tranquil places. Her choice of colours just scream summertime, with bright, bold hues and fluid forms that evoke the warmth and vibrancy of summer days.
David Hockney's 'A Bigger Splash'
When we think of summer, we think of hot sunny days and relaxing by the pool, which is why we have also chosen to feature the iconic David Hockney's 'A Bigger Splash.' This piece captures the quintessential summer experience, with its cool blue pool and the sense of carefree leisure.
