“Touchdown!” offers a glimpse into the serendipitous moments that unfold amidst the idyllic landscapes of the Wiltshire Downs—a testament to the intimate relationship between artist and environment. As one traverses the undulating fields of this picturesque region, the presence of hares becomes an integral part of the natural tapestry, their graceful forms weaving seamlessly into the fabric of the countryside.
On a fateful day, amidst one such excursion, I chanced upon a hare engaged in the mundane yet captivating act of grooming itself—a scene both familiar and enchanting. Captivated by the creature’s unassuming grace and the inherent poetry of its movements, inspiration struck like a bolt of lightning. It was a moment of revelation, as I envisioned the hare’s ungainly pose immortalized upon canvas—a testament to the beauty found in the everyday.
When the time came to translate this vision into art, I opted for a departure from my signature style, embracing a more relaxed and spontaneous approach. Eschewing the intricate “tendrils of colour” that had come to define my earlier works, I embraced a looser, more overtly figurative style—a bold step towards uncharted creative territory. Harnessing the fluidity of acrylic pens, I sought to imbue the composition with a sense of dynamism, capturing the essence of movement with each stroke of the brush. Thus, “Touchdown!” emerged as a celebration of simplicity and spontaneity—an ode to the timeless allure of the natural world.
Our Fine-Art Prints use archival papers in two weights. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Signature Editions’, we use 210gsm Fotospeed Smooth; a versatile paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. For the larger ‘Premium Editions’, we use Fotospeed’s 315gsm NST. Thanks to subtle textures similar to traditional etching papers, coupled to bright-white bases, both of these 100%-cotton, fine-art papers deliver revelatory, impactful images that will stand the test of time. Furthermore, we only ever use OEM inks that are rich in pigments & offer a consistent level of reproduction.
