Original "Towards The Light" Linocut Print on Linen

Original "Towards The Light" Linocut Print on linen by Matthew Allen. This original 12"x12" hand carved linocut print by Southern California artist Matthew Allen was created for his Impressions art show alongside ceramicist Logan Wannamaker, at Folklore in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The art is framed in walnut hardwood. Inspired by the landscape of Santa Fe, this artwork was created using linocut printing on raw linen canvas fabric. The unevenness of the pressed ink on the fabric's weave adds texture details within a simple composition. The layering of multiple pressings on this linocut print uses the building of ink densities as a device to add dimension to the plant. Peaceful artwork for the contemporary home.
