Lisboa - variable edition screen print

Special introductory price!

As the name suggests, this series of 9 prints are are inspired by a recent trip to Lisbon.

Portugal is renowned for ceramics, and the facades of many of the buildings in the city are adorned by tiles. The country has had its struggles and many of buildings reflect that history and are worn, the tiles chipped, which these prints replicate. But, this only adds to the charm in my opinion.

Each of the tiles was printed individually - all 32 layers! Yes, there are far more efficient ways of doing this, but we feel the authenticity would be lost had these hand made tiles been laid down together ‘mass produced’.

Over top the tiles other images that reflect the essence of the city, and certainly on the top of the list for any first-timer.

As is common in Mig's work, they are variable edition, with each print different to reflect the ever changing perspective when walking through the city.

Size 50cm x 70cm. Printed on Hemp,

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.
