Ranunculus

These beautiful orange Ranunculas were sourced from the wonderful ladies selling flowers at the renowned Adderley Street Flower Market in the centre of Cape Town. The flowers spent several weeks in the press, after which they were carefully extracted and placed on to the purest black background (BlackBlack Fabriano).The original pressing was then scanned at a high resolution, and printed on to Canson Rag Photographique, 310gsm.

The art of pressing botanicals is a close study of colour, form and composition in nature, and these Ranunculas are a perfect example of that. The shapes of the blooms when pressed became perfect circles… an absolute testament to the wonder of nature

These prints are beautifully timeless, and profound in their simplicity and vibrancy. The original pressing was scanned at a high resolution, and printed on to Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin.

Dimensions of black area A4 210 x 297mm | A3 297 x 420mm.

We also offer framing options… please contact us for details.

When framing use Artglass where possible… your framer should know how to get hold of it. Artglass is a glass which offers very little reflection… ideal for images with a black background.

IT MUST BE NOTED THAT WHEN BLACK INKS ARE PRINTED ON TO FINE ART PAPER AS THESE ARE, THE COLOUR BECOMES EXTREMELY FRAGILE – WHEN TOUCHED EVEN LIGHTLY IT CAN BURNISH OR MARK. OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO LEAVE IT IN IT’S PACKAGING UNTIL IT IS IN THE HANDS OF A FRAMER
