About the Artwork

This striking linocut print is created through a meticulous relief printing process, where the linoleum surface is carved to leave blank areas, with the uncut portions printed in bold black. 

The background was printed with hand-mixed oil based inks and the lobster printed with premium Van Son Rubber Base Ink on Mulberry paper. This is a fine, vegan-friendly Japanese paper made primarily from wood pulp, free of sizing agents, wet strengtheners, or aluminium sulphate, this artwork combines tradition with sustainability.

About Linocutting

Linocut is a traditional printmaking technique where an image is hand-carved into a sheet of linoleum. Ink is applied to the raised surface, and then pressed onto paper to create a bold, graphic impression. Each print is individually hand-pulled, giving it a unique character and subtle variations. 

Linocut prints are far more than just images; they are original works of art created entirely by hand. Each design is carefully carved into linoleum, inked, and pressed onto paper, resulting in a print that carries the artist’s touch in every detail. Unlike digital prints, which are mechanically reproduced and identical, linocuts offer subtle variations, texture, and depth that give each piece its unique character. Digital prints can be endlessly duplicated at the press of a button, which lowers their uniqueness and collectability.

The physical process, time, and craftsmanship involved add lasting value and authenticity. With their rich, tactile quality and limited-edition nature, linocuts offer something digital simply can’t: a sense of soul, imperfection, and connection to the artist’s hand.

Art collectors and galleries often place higher value on traditional printmaking methods like linocut because of the skill, craftsmanship, and history behind them. The process itself becomes part of the art’s story.

Linocuts are usually made in limited editions—often signed and numbered by the artist. Once the edition is complete, the printing block is typically destroyed or retired. This scarcity increases the artwork’s long-term value.
