Polymer gravure, 42 x 30cm, edition of 30
Sikelela Owen’s works explore intimacy, motherhood, memories - whether real or constructed - and grief. Characterised by a muted, organic palette, her imagery aims, in the artist’s words, ‘to create a feeling, not illustrate a feeling’.
Sikelela works on a range of scales making unique works and, in this case, limited edition prints. Her portraits use friends, family and wider images as subject matter. Figures are portrayed alone, or clustered in small groups, at leisure or at rest.
This framed limited edition print is signed as a PP (printer’s proof), and was using the polymer gravure process. To create the printing plate, the artist drew directly onto true-grain (similar to thin acetate) in ink. This positive image was then placed onto a solar, light-sensitive polymer plate and exposed with UV light. This work has been framed in oak with a walnut stain behind anti-reflective, UV 70% resistant glass.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
