Original British Modernist Art
Porkies

Porkies reduces a familiar street scene to its strongest graphic elements: a dark hat, squared shoulders and the repeated stripes of a pedestrian crossing.Viewed directly from above, the figure becomes almost anonymous, allowing silhouette, texture and geometry to carry the composition.The worn road markings introduce irregularity into an otherwise disciplined arrangement of parallel lines. Against them, the rounded crown and narrow brim of the pork pie hat form a bold visual counterpoint.Rendered in black, grey and warm cream, the image combines the immediacy of street photography with the tactile character of a vintage screen print.Each work is printed to order on heavyweight 308gsm Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a 100% cotton paper chosen for its natural tone, subtle texture and exceptional reproduction of deep blacks and fine detail.Supplied unframed, it leaves you free to choose a frame with the same individuality and attention to detail that define Modernist style.Every print is carefully packaged for protection in transit, with UK delivery included in the price.
