I'm not sure if there are any Arofish fans out there, but a new print was mentioned on www.artofthestate.co.uk so I got in touch and got these images of the prints that are to be released.





Here's the rest of the information provided about the piece and ordering it:

The work is a traditional hand pulled screen print on 330gsm Somerset Radiant White paper utilizing special industrial pigments to produce a metallc and colour change effect for each print. The process required a lot of initial work because of the use of these pigments - in the main getting the mix right of pigment, fixer and varnish due to the inherent issues faced when hand pulling prints and also the degredation faced with multiple pulls over the individual screens.

Traditional print making equipment (one of the largest and oldest printing presses still operating in London) and techniques were used along with the expertise of a Central St Martins and Royal College of Art Print Grad There will be a run of 125 in cobalt blue and 25 in pearlescent, all signed and numbered by the artist. The cobalt blue has the effect of changing colour to violet depending on the light and angle of view. The pearlescent print looks like a metallic cream when viewed face on but changes to a platinum blue, again depending on light and the angle of view.

The prints are 80cmx80cm and will be available in 6 weeks or so from ww.7press.co.uk at a price of £250 - however as a special concession they can be purchased direct from myself [[e-mail]] for £150 prior to them going live on the website.

We've had approx 25 pre-orders so far which has been excellent considering this has been just through word of mouth and a mention on www.artofthestate.co.uk

There may be available a very limited number of AP's at a later date as we experimented with 12 different colours but pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed.

hope this helps...

kind regards

The top one, with the silver background, looks special.

ive always been curious as to where Arofish was selling prints (if any). I'm a fan but this print doesn't do it for me... bet it will soon though....

I though I'd read that this was the first print he'd released -- if anyone knows otherwise, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's the first

I love this image on the street, but it just doesn't seem to be having the same effect as a print, unfortunately. Arofish is really great though -- I'll look forward to him hopefully putting out some other pieces in the future.

Is anyone here going to order one of these? Also wondered if anyone has bought from this place or heard of any issues before before I pay!

[jam]

No one is going to get one aside from me?! ;D

Ive ordered a blue one.

The pearls had gone so there are a few others somewhere to.

I have a pearlescent on hold.
