Brimham Sunset
Original lino print
Image size: 495mm x 495mm
This piece is an original three-layer reduction lino print, printed by hand on heavyweight 300gsm Snowdon 1000mm x 700mm paper using a large-scale Victorian Alexandra printing press. It is sold unframed and unmounted, signed by the artist in pencil with edition number and title (Brimham) at the foot of the print.
This print depicts the amazing Idol Rock, one of the weird and wonderfully shaped Brimham Rocks, set in dramatic moorland just outside Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Brimham Rocks is composed of Millstone Grit sandstone, sculpted by the weather over millions of years. Idol Rock is perhaps the most easily recognisable of all the giant formations of Brimham Rocks, as its huge bulk weighing thousands of tons rests preposterously on a comparatively tiny pyramid of rock at its base.
This print forms part of a series, with Brimham Dawn, Brimham Blue and Brimham Autumn, which are printed from the same reduction linoblock in different colour ways, and as such are intriguing companion pieces to this print.
