Jeremy Annear ‘La baleine et son ombre’ Monoprint 30x23cm (A4) 2021

£349.99

This exquisite monoprint on fine print-making paper made from Thai Kozo (mulberry) forms part of a small series of uniquely different monoprints entirely produced by hand and signed by the celebrated artist Jeremy Annear. Known more recently for his works which delve into a place of 'pure abstraction', the minimalist yet intricate abstract rendering of 'la baleine' (the whale) in a gorgeous palette of grey blues is a rare figuration in the artist's work more in keeping with an earlier period of work.

With its playful and unique composition and beautiful textures, this monoprint ‘La Baleine et son ombre’ (the whale and its shadow) is a stunning piece that draws the viewer to the artist’s native Cornwall by both its colour and marine themes and the visibility of Annear’s heritage in the European modernism tradition of the St Ives School.
