A fairy playground on Hampstead Heath. 6 layer screenprint inspired by two crazy fun mushrooms I stumbled upon the morning before the 'Blisters' deadline. This screenprint was designed exclusively for Blisters: Time to Play in September 2023, which showcased over 50 emerging and established artists, each with a brand new and exclusive edition of handmade screenprints responding to the theme of PLAY. From fairground rides to broader concepts about colour and abstraction, the show comprised an array of styles from street art to fine art illustration. The exhibition presented pieces from renowned contemporary artists such as Anthony Burrill, Oliver Jeffers, Morag Caister, Lucille Clerc, Babak Ganjei, John Booth and many more. And many Print Club favourites of course! Boxed framed, white grain
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kath Leone
Kath Leone is an artist and textile designer from Cape Town, South Africa.
Reimagining scenes from the natural world, Kath is inspired by old-fashioned chintz techniques to overlay
colours and create her painterly screen-printed pieces.
Kath’s background in designing textiles for fashion has played a part in developing her art style and lends itself well to her printmaking process. She has a condition called synesthesia, specifically grapheme-colour and chromesthesia. This saturates her mind and life, influencing her artistic practice and explaining her obsession with colour mixing.
Kath’s work is recognisable by an energetic use of colour and movement with a subtle sense of nostalgia and a slightly fantastical charm.
