{"product_id":"hpca-spring-stage","title":"Spring Stags","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeer are such beautiful creatures and fascinating to observe at any time of the year. In spring they are emerging from sometimes harsh winter conditions and these two are enjoying being in a lush, spring environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece focuses on the deer’s’ shape and their markings, which have been stylised, allowing the image to include flowing lines and my love of pattern-making using details taken from nature. Deer are larger than you’d expect therefore it seemed fitting to have them fill the foreground and have a colourful, stylised woodland as their backdrop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe artwork has been precisely hand-made using layers of cut, pearlescent and plain coloured papers forming a bas-relief on every surface. The pearlescent gold has a really attractive sheen and adds sophistication to the piece, enhancing the other colours, subtly emphasising the shapes and details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create the spring-like backdrop, strips of coloured paper were used to create a gradient effect. Sections of this design have been layered and built up to different heights, using model making techniques.  This emphasises the deer, separating and placing them in the foreground and plays with the idea of light, depth and shadow, elevating a fairly flat design into a far more involved artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited editions of 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade relief paper cut art mounted onto acid-free 500gsm mounts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12\" x 12\" x 1\" (30 x 30 x 3 cm) gallery quality black \/ white wooden frame from sustainably sourced UK forests \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUV-protective glass with hard-board backs, professional hanging system and authenticity labelling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessionally packaged in sturdy recycled cardboard boxes 15\" x 15\" x 2\" (38 x 38 x 5 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUK Shipping 5 - 7 days \/ International Shipping 10 - 14 days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Black wooden framed artwork with mount and UV Glass (12\" x 12\")","offer_id":58912631849295,"sku":"HPCA \/ Spring Stags \/ 12 \/ BF \/ UV","price":245.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White wooden framed artwork with mount and UV Glass (12\" x 12\")","offer_id":58912631882063,"sku":"HPCA \/ Spring Stags \/ 12 \/ WF \/ UV","price":245.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9642\/7599\/files\/15.jpg?v=1790933016","url":"https:\/\/steviepurcell.art\/products\/hpca-spring-stage","provider":"Stevie Purcell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
