Adrian Thornton is a screen printer with loads of years under his belt. He likes to cut stencils prints with just one screen and up to twenty stencil layers, these complex prints that would normally be avoided by traditional screen printers.
If you find yourself in Hastings in the next month or show check out his show.
During July we visited Perry Davies at his studio in Ongaonga, Central Hawke’s Bay. We discussed his recent work making birdhouses from recycled and up-cycled materials. Perry has a background in printmaking and furniture design and recently relocated to Central Hawke’s Bay where he established the Stockroom Gallery.
We have some new editions of some old favorites. These are Giclee fine art prints on heavy art paper measuring 400 x 400mm
More of a buffalo gentleman. Low res and lots of dot gain.
Te Wepu is based on the famous flag flown by Te Kooti and captured from Ngati Kahungunu. The crescent moon is a portent of a new world, and the red cross is the fighting cross of the Archangel Michael. The mountain represents New Zealand, and the bleeding heart the suffering of the Māori people.
A new print for the shortest day of the year. Time for the garlic and onions to go in the garden.
