Kelvin Mann
"U", from Kelvin Mann's animal alphabet

2010

About the Item

The single letter "U", from the alphabet, depends on phonics for the "ewe" to qualify for "U". All letters are available, and the full set of 27 etchings in folio box is available for $3200. Animals, real and imagined, populate this imaginative set of prints. More images available on request. Signed and numbered from the edition of 55. The sheet also features a small square with all 26 letters embossed by letterpress (see detail image). Born in 1972 in Dunedin, New Zealand. Educated at the Otago School of Fine Art, NZ. Employed as an animation artist by Vidmark Television, NZ from 1994-1996. In 1997 he moved to Dublin to become a member of the Graphic Studio Dublin. He has worked as a printmaker at Stoney Road Press in Dublin since 2002 and shows in Ireland, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Artist Statement: "I enjoy mechanics and the exposed working of the machine. Machines that look like something from the industrial revolution, but poorly designed. It is as if they might have once existed, but didn’t stand the test of time. With the benefit of hindsight they were a ridiculous idea. I am fascinated by them, not so much the workings of them but that they work at all. Titles are important to me. I enjoy word play and visual puns. I like them to be amusing, not in a humourous sense, but to be engaging and hold the viewer’s interest in a W. Heath Robinson sort of way."

  • Left Gatekeeper Ibis
    Located in Bloomington, IL
    "Left Gatekeeper Ibis" is an etching, aquatint and soap ground aquatint printed from two copper plates in red and blue inks. The print was created and printed on Somerset Satin paper at Manneken Press in an edition of 10. There is a border on all sides of the image. The image size is 21" x 18 3/4" and the sheet size is 28 1/2" x 26". The artist's signature, date, title and edition number are in pencil on the lower margin. "Left Gatekeeper Ibis" is a companion to "Right Gatekeeper Ibis". While the prints are available singly, the artist's intent is for the two prints to be hung side by side with the birds facing one another. Rhea Edge uses her art to convey an environmental message and a moral message that breaks through words and facts. Her art speaks a truth that is often obscured by manipulative phrasing and partisan politics. She shows us the vulnerabilities of endangered species and their impending extinction. It’s beautiful. It’s disconcerting. It leaves viewers with uncomfortable moral questions. Rhea Edge is an Illinois-based artist who often uses images of birds in her paintings and prints. Edge, Associate Professor of Art and chair of the fine and performing arts department at Eureka College, has traveled extensively documenting animal extinctions around the world. She has paintings of the Scarlet Ibis in Trinidad, Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska, leatherback turtles...
