Adrian Wiszniewski, Princess With Fish

2018, laser-cut woodblock, 20 available

“Adrian Wiszniewski has had a long and fruitful relationship with the print studio. In this laser-cut woodblock from 2018, it was great to see Adrian exploring new technology, using a laser cutter to cut the blocks for a series of prints. Like a giant jigsaw, the separate pieces are inked up then put back together. This series of woodcuts was inspired by childhood memories of growing up in the 1960s and, in particular, a television series from East Germany called Tales From Europe. One of the stories, The Singing Ringing Tree, featured a princess and a giant fish. Although originally viewed in black and white, Adrian, a superb colourist, reimagined the scene in multi-colours.”
