About the Artwork

The lobster is printed using a van son rubber-based ink and hand finished with ink and watercolour. The paper is Mulberry thick 52gsm, which is 10% Kozo with the balance being 90% sulphite pulp, with no chemical fillers, and a small amount of sizing is added before drying.

The gold leaf is 22ct yellow gold from Giusto Manetti Battiloro. This genuine gold metal has been beaten incredibly finely to form gossamer-thin sheets for gilding. It has been applied using a two-part system by Kolner and then varnished with a semi-gloss robust lacquer. This genuine rose gold will not tarnish.

Due to the technique used for the application of gold leaf, this artwork is unique and not an edition.

Although gold leaf is protected with a robust lacquer, I highly recommend it is framed and can advise on this if requested.
