Serigraph!

Fanch Ledan -  Striped Sofa Over Central Park - Serigraph - Artist's Proof



Hey everyone....This is a screen print by Fanch Ledan. It is titled "Striped Sofa over Central Park." It portrays excellent movement that guides the eye to the New York City landscape. It is very economical and voices the styles from the Fauve and Expressionist eras. Bright hues and saturated colors in the foreground flowing with more opaque colors in the background add depth and value, and make this lifelike, even if it seems like a collage. I love this for the color, the depiction New York, and the violation of the edge with the picture. I hope you all like it and it fills your mind with color and joy!    -Nic :)
