'The Hope Of Summer' - Summertime poem original linocut print limited edition

'The Hope Of Summer' is an original hand carved and hand printed linocut. It depicts a warm landscape at the height of Summer. Around the border of the print is a hand carved poem that I composed myself that reads… ‘You. Walking through the tall grass, ruddy face, bare feet, pay them no mind the hope of summer beats down. Breathe’. I wanted to capture that feeling of being wild outside in the muggy air when all you have is the open landscape ahead of you.

This linocut print is an edition of 50, therefore only 50 prints will exist in the world. It is signed, titled and numbered by the Artist.

The print will arrive mounted in an 8 by 8 inch acid-free white mount (with a 6 by 6 inch opening). It is printed by hand on Japanese HoSho paper.

Linocut is a type of traditional relief printmaking whereby designs are carved by hand into lino blocks - the block is then inked with professional standard ink, paper applied on top and it is then pressed by hand.
