David Barnett'Giant Hybrid Hibiscus Butterfly' signed artist's proof I/XXV giclée print 2005
2005
About the Item
‘Giant Hybrid Hibiscus Butterfly’ is an artist’s proof giclée print on watercolor paper after the 2003 original, signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. The composition emphasizes morphological play as the viewer observes a butterfly transform into a hibiscus flower and back again. The butterfly’s petal-wings are adorned with floral designs, creating a pictorial palimpsest of Barnett’s hybrid insect-flower imagery. A pair of whorling plumes below the butterfly resemble a pair of eyes, further blurring the boundaries between flora and fauna. Through his subtle experimentation with abstraction, Barnett deftly captures the constant fluctuations of the butterfly’s form.

- Izzy with her Ball, Dog Art, Affordable Art, Contemporary Animal Art PrintLocated in Deddington, GBIzzy, a charming characterful terrier stands alert, holding her ball in her mouth. Colour etching hand made and printed by the artist. Helen Fay's art for sale online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Animals have always been at the heart of my work. I find the form, movement and behaviour of the creatures I draw a source of limitless fascination. I love the idea of them watching me, watching them as I draw. I hope my appreciation of the sentience and character of the animals I draw comes across in my work. Over my career I have drawn everything from primates to penguins, dogs, ostriches and even an echidna. These days dogs are my main focus, mostly because I adore dogs but also because they are such an integral part of life. I am delighted by the theory that humans and dogs co evolved, we wouldn’t be what we are without them and vice versa. I try to pare my images down to a balanced simplicity that directs attention to the subject of the picture. I try to balance the subject and the space it occupies, giving each equal importance. Light is hugely important to my work, I imagine my subject in three dimensions as I draw and the light describes the musculature and texture that gives the drawing it’s presence and grounds it in the picture. I aim to capture a pause, a moment where whatever I draw looks like it could wander off or leap up any minute. My influences include Japanese prints, Chinese and Japanese brush drawing and the European artists who were influenced by Japan. I am really excited by composition, by artists like Bonnard and Leon Spilliaert. I have long been a fan of Munch for his direct mark-making, colour and intensity and at the other end of the spectrum, Hammershoi for his limited palette, sense of space and calm. I am interested in black and white photography and film and have recently discovered and been amazed by the films of Yasujiro Ozu...Category
