Winter Gold

Is a thick band of fluttering butterflies depicted in frosted icy blues, platinum blues, silvery white and metallic golds. The composition gives a sense of movement, energy and life on a scale and depth that demonstrates a frenetic mass of butterflies which could seemingly escape the confines of the frame.

The artwork comprises of 4 butterfly types produced to represent the palette of colours found in Winter, all individually pinned off an arresting gold leaf background. The butterflies are cut and folded to shape and see iridescent blue Morpho butterflies amongst a mix of metallic platinum and gold Monarchs butterflies. Completing the artwork is a peppering of Bath White butterflies – adding a cooling, silvery tone to the picture.

All printed 300gsm on Sirio paper in a mix of light reflective and metallic paper types.

The depth of 3d butterflies gives the artwork an arresting texture – allowing shadow, light and space for the butterflies to look lifelike.
