It's been a few
years since I last had one of my print sales and I've decided it's about time I
had another. So for the next thirty days I'm offering a selection of my prints
at half their regular price. If you'd like one at 50% discounted price drop me
an email at WAYNECHISNALL@YAHOO.CO.UK
Here are the
ones that are included in the sale -
I created the
original image for 'If They Were Bunnies' by first selecting a newspaper image
of British police officers attacking demonstrators. I then painted out the
protestors - replacing them with my own cartoon rabbits. I'm pleased with the
contrast between the crisp graphic line work of the bunnies and the just about
perceptible halftone modulations of the newspaper image.
Printed using
cutting edge Epson® HDX Ultrachrome archival pigments inks, as opposed to
ordinary dye-base inks, which are more prone to fading over prolonged exposure
to UV light, and printed on Hahnemuhle Bright White 310 gsm; an acid-free, premium
heavy-weight archival paper. The image is 45.5 x 33 cm, and the paper size is
50.5 x 39.3 cm. Each print is signed and editioned (being from a limited
edition of 100). The prints are also embossed with an authentication stamp in
the lower left corners of the border.
The Spidey
Pods piece came about through the merging of a few different ideas or
interests. Part of it was to do with my interest in nostalgia, childhood
perceptions of adulthood and childhood heroes (hence the elements of the 70s
style Spiderman costume). The work was also influenced by an interest in forms
that reoccur within larger forms. Just prior to making the preparatory drawing
for the Spidey Pods piece I had been peeling back the skin of a segment of
orange and marvelling at the mass of smaller pod-like segments that it was made
up of.
It was whilst
sketching out the initial drawing that I also remembered a scene from the
original 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers', in which the main character from the
movie finds himself in the back of a truck, on top of a pile of giant pods. So
again, there is this reworking of nostalgic elements, as films have been
another important influence throughout my life (especially during my
childhood).
Limited
edition, hand-printed, silk-screen prints on acid-free, archival high grade
paper. Signed and numbered. Edition of 300 (although less than 100 have so far
been printed and it's unlikely that any more will be printed).
Dimensions:
58 x 53 cm.
The 'Morphed
Components' prints are based upon one of my pencil drawings, in which I morphed
together elements of different found objects and materials that I'd been
collecting for use in my sculptures. Unlike my recent quick-fire drawings this
one harks back to the draughtsmanship style I used when I first started out as
a technical illustrator for one of the big Japanese companies back in the 80s.
I found it interesting using the same precise and clinical rendering that I
used back then, on something that is personal to what I do now. Some people
have said that they find the drawing a bit disturbing but I find it quite
relaxing to stare at (the original hangs on the wall at the foot of my bed).
In order to
give the prints a subtle pencily (that's not a real word is it?) quality the
screen prints were hand-pulled using an ink made with graphite powder. As with
all my other screen prints, these are also printed on archival quality paper
and each one is signed and editioned. The paper dimensions are 54 x 52 cm and
the print run is an edition of 60 plus five artist's proofs

Skulls on Pink’ screen print. They come in a strictly limited edition of 50 and
each print is signed, titled, editioned, dated, and printed on archival paper.
