Hypnotic Form and Colour


A few weeks ago we spent a little time discussing our art work and decided it would be worth putting together more cards to improve our range. We did however decide this next batch should be different and demonstrate a greater depth of colour and abstract form, this put the task very much into Jenny's court. We have had concerns in the past over the representation when printed, however the printers we used for our previous print run had produced a very good quality product and we felt it had an excellent chance of being done well.

When the cards arrived during the week we were well pleased with the result. Jenny has a keen interest in the use of colour and form in her work particularly regarding the psychological impact and effect and the human mind and perception. A number of people have found themselves studying her work and being mentally drawn into the image. The result can be quite hypnotic and relaxing.

The cards will be going onto our Etsy shop this weekend. We hope you enjoy her work and find time to let your eyes wander around the lines and hues.
