Fox with girl

John Simpson's beautiful accident

fox with girl • silkscreen • 47cm x 66cm

'Fox with Girl' is a wonderful new silkscreen just released by John Simpson. With the bold red background it sees a change from his regular work. It was one of those accidental moments. The silkscreen tests were printed onto some left over red backgrounds and John took a liking to them. This is one of the attractions for John; the process is detailed and precise yet open to chance and discovery. The first image is just the beginning. After days of deliberation and experiment the final print is made up of seven layers in six colours. There is no 'original', each has to be made separately.

A selection of John's work that is available in the gallery can be seen here. For further information please contact us.
