Four colours plus gold leaf hand-finishing — the gold particularly apt for a piece about oranges, the metallic warmth picking up on the specific quality of sunlight that the colour orange itself evokes. Gill Sheraton‘s Fresh Oranges takes the fruit as a study in bold graphic illustration: the shape clean and simple, the colour doing the work that the subject’s own natural saturation makes straightforward.
The hand-finishing stage is the distinguishing detail — Sheraton applies the gold leaf by hand in Print Club London’s Dalston studios after the four screen-printed layers are complete, each copy slightly individual in exactly how the gold sits. A piece with the quality of something that belongs in a kitchen where actually good things happen. Four colours on 330gsm paper, gold leaf hand-finished by the artist. Signed. £90.
