Natures Gift - Hand painted, collage Screenprint (Different Variants)

This is a print about abundance. A figure stands with their back to you, crowned with a magnificent purple pumpkin complete with green stem and leaves, presenting armfuls of golden daffodils. The composition pulses with warmth—horizontal bands of egg-yolk yellow, tangerine orange, hot pink, and scarlet stripe the background like a sunset caught mid-burn. Curved green foliage sweeps through the lower half, grounding the surreal harvest scene.

The flowers themselves are extraordinary. Dense yellow daffodils, rendered in multiple ink layers with visible texture and grain, emerge from both corners. You can see the hand-painted details in the petals, the careful collage work where paper elements have been integrated into the screenprint layers. This isn't just printing—it's assemblage, painting, and printmaking working together.

The figure's black dress shows beautiful horizontal ribbing, achieved through careful screen exposure and precise ink control. That rich, matte black sits against the vibrant colour field, creating depth and contrast. Look closely and you'll spot the artist's signature in the lower right—Oli 26—marking this as a 2026 original.

This is a unique state print. The title tells you everything: hand-painted, collage, screenprint. Every element is built up in individual layers. First, the colour field bands—each pulled separately, registered by hand. Then the figure, masked and exposed as its own screen. The florals next, with hand-painted additions worked directly onto the print between passes. Finally, collage elements adhered and integrated. The process takes days. No two will ever match exactly.

Printed on heavyweight archival paper stock, the kind that takes ink with texture and holds colour without fading. You can feel the deposit of each layer, the slight relief where pigment sits on the surface. This is the opposite of digital flatness.

The imagery draws from folk traditions—harvest figures, anthropomorphic vegetables, the British love affair with both pumpkins and daffodils. But there's contemporary graphic confidence here too, the boldness of Saint Martins training meeting twenty-six years of studio practice. It feels both timeless and utterly now.

This is what original screenprint means. Hand-pulled. Hand-painted. Collaged by hand. One print, one moment in the studio, never to be exactly repeated.

Who is this print for? Collectors who understand that hand-pulled means unrepeatable. Once it's gone, it's gone. Own a piece of British screenprint craft.
