Gerry, Leslie - Lybster, Scotland - SIGNED Limited Edition Print

Located on the South Pier Head of Lybster Harbour. Lybster was once a busy herring fishing port and is guarded at its entrance by the white octagonal lighthouse. By 1838 Lybster was the third biggest herring port in Scotland, and the harbour was continually being developed throughout the herring boom. The lighthouse was built in 1884, by which time the fishing industry was already waning.

A signed and numbered limited edition of 100 Giclée prints in two sizes on a 250gsm mould-made paper using archival inks. This is an original digital artwork.

I paint digitally. Working with only flat areas of colour and no tone, I “cut out” colour shapes with a digital stylus on my computer, arranging them on different layers, creating a collage. In fact, I first began working this way years ago by cutting out sheets of coloured paper with scissors, similar to the way Matisse created his paper cut-outs. The paintings end up as digital files, therefore there is no scanning, they are printed directly from the computer onto a mould-made paper
