Chill

 
 

Chill

A purple figure sits on top of a cliff edge, welcoming the dawn. A cliff edge. S/he is relaxed, taking in the atmosphere, perhaps awed by the light. The colours are warm to hot, but the title is Chill. The cliff edge is a scary place, but the title is Chill. In almost complete opposition to the image, we keep reading the word, Chill.

Scary places, scary moments. They happen so often. We may feel that we’re on the edge, seeing too far into the distance without knowing what to make of it all. We’re too high above, seeing how far we could fall and we make ourselves afraid. We think ahead of what could go wrong in so many ways, like this person, being able to see so very much from such a frightening place. We heat ourselves up with worry, tottering on an edge of problem, afraid to look to a warmer place.

Chill. Simply cool down. Reduce the temperature. Feel cooled to the core. On whatever cliff-edge we feel heated by fear, on whatever edge we are confronted, on whatever scary high place we feel afraid we might fall, this person asks us to stop. See the new day. Sit a while. “Chill out.”

Please contact me if you would like prints. The following formats are available. All prints on paper are sold on ivory mounting board. Frames may be ordered. Prints on canvas are stretched on wood.

Art Prints: Art Prints are created with laser printers onto quality wood pulp art paper.

Gallery Poster: Gallery Poster is a typical art gallery format with laser printer on poster paper, supplied rolled in a tube.

Giclee Prints: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto quality cotton rag paper. They’re known for their vibrant colours, fine details, and archival quality. The term "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray," referring to the precise inkjet spraying process used in their production. They’re guaranteed to last at least 100 years (though no one’s been alive long enough since development to know…)

Embellished Giclee Prints: Embellished Giclee Prints are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-drawn elements to make each cotton paper print unique. The result is a print that combines the advantages of digital printing with a personal touch.

Giclee Prints on Canvas: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto artist canvas material. This gives the print a texture and appearance similar to a traditional painting on canvas so that they resemble original paintings.

Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas: Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-painted elements to make each print unique. Embellishments added on top of canvas give the print a more three-dimensional painterly effect.
