Linocut with stencils by Kit Boyd
Blue colourway
40cm x 30cm
Unframed
"My work explores our relationship with nature, with landscapes filled with birds and animals, with our careless attitude to the planet and ecosystems also being a theme in my work. I decided to place Watts in the centre of an imaginary landscape populated by birds. I like that Watts insisted Lilly Langtree remove her feathered hat when he painted her portrait, refusing to advocate the use of plumage in fashion through his painting. Inspired by G F Watts's vision and empathy for the natural world, especially love of birdlife, my linocut places the artist from Self-portrait in a Red Robe at the centre of a metaphysical landscape surrounded by birds, both indigenous and tropical, such as those whose feathers would be used in fashion in the 19th Century . In the background the winged angel from A Dedication walks tall and Watts's dead heron is brought back to life in the foreground."
