"ISl Study 2" is a captivating 5x7 relief print that captures the raw beauty of a seascape. The piece is created with ink on handmade, textured off-white paper and features a minimalistic and abstract representation of a coastal scene. The composition uses black ink lines to outline a coastal cliff or a rock formation, accompanied by a serene blue wash at the base, symbolizing the sea. Above the cliff, a gray wash suggests the presence of clouds or mist, adding an atmospheric depth to the scene.
The horizontal linear composition is enriched with intricate lines that denote movement and texture in both the sky and water, enhancing the overall dynamism of the artwork. This seascape is evocative of the small islands and rock formations off the coast of Iceland, drawn from sketches made during travels.
What's truly unique about this monoprint is the use of Chine-collé technique combined with handmade recycled paper, making it a one-of-a-kind piece within a series. The texture and organic simplicity of the paper add an additional layer of authenticity and tactile richness to the artwork, inviting viewers to explore its serene yet dynamic beauty. The piece is elegantly presented in a natural wood frame with archival materials and TruView Conservation Clear glass, ensuring both preservation and an unobstructed view of the intricate details.
