I love Cherry Blossoms! Living in London, I can spot them from the top of double decker bus. I have visions of visiting Japan during Cherry Blossom season and memories of walking along the mall in Washington D.C. to see the beauties. Most of the cherry blossoms that inspire me now are from the prettiest tree that sits next to a cool movie theater in east London. I often get off the bus early just to cross the street and take photos, I love it.
This is a hand painted piece ... I create this by painting directly onto a silkscreen and transferring the image to the paper beneath using a squeegee. What I love about it are the imperfections and unexpected marks that occur by using this process, called a mono print (just one!) I work out of a collective studio in East London called Print Club London.
The Light Bright Collection is a collection that looks at the idea of bright pops of color against darkness. As a kid, I was fascinated by the kid's game of the same name that lit up in a futuristic way. That same vibe was felt when I would go to concerts and glow bracelets were adorned, appearing to light up as the overhead lights went down and the concert would soon start. Nowadays I see flashes of neon on the city streets. A glowing reminder to look on the bright side.
I do my best to capture the true colors of this original, but please note that colors may appear differently on your screen.
Due to the nature of the painting and then the screen printing process, there may be slight imperfections that are part of the charm of an original, hand made monoprint.
