Signed Limited Edition Etching with hand-coloured chine collé, 2016
Edition of 50
Paper size: 38 × 46cm
£895 Unframed
Or £89.50 per month on Own Art payable in 10 equal interest-free monthly instalments
Craigie’s Canary' is a celebration of British artist Craigie Aitchison’s (1926-2009) life and work as well as a tribute from his friend and admirer Peter Blake. This hand-painted etching’s minimalism is an echo of Aitchison’s precise and simple compositions, its splash of colour reminiscent of the jewel-bright colours Aitchison loved to use. Aitchison kept canaries, they would fly about in his studio; as well as being a recurring motif throughout his work, the canary is a symbol of joy, illumination and innocence- and here it represents Craigie himself; a touching tribute to a dear friend.
