Kubuwoningen - Variable edition screen print
This series of hand printed screen prints takes its inspiration from the Cube Houses in Rotterdam. They were designed by the architect Piet Blom. Each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest, completely rethinking how we design urban living.
Both cubes and hexagons are integral to the design of these houses, and this print borrows the latter, interspersed with photos taken during a visit to create these densely layered prints. The colours used have been carefully selected to mirror the houses, with yellow, grey and white key colours, and blues to reflect the living in the sky, and the canals that are part of the fabric of Rotterdam.
As is common in Mig's work, they are variable edition, with each print different to reflect the experience of walking around this small neighbourhood.
Size 35cm x 50cm. Printed on Plike,
Buying original art online is hard! Viewing an artwork on screen never really does justice to the original piece. Colours may differ, depending on the settings on your device and modern cameras try to correct where they shouldn't. We always recommend that where possible you buy original art in person because your eyes do a much better job than a camera.
However, we appreciate that it's not always possible. Maybe you have seen something in an exhibition but weren't in a position to buy at that time. Because of this we are offering a small selection of prints from our webstore.
If you've seen something elsewhere do drop us a line via the contact page, and keep an eye on insta for works in progress and live news about upcoming exhibitions.
