The work of fine artist Kristjana S Williams is about layering the old with the new. Her images reference traditional art & illustration, bringing them up to date with contemporary printing & collage techniques. With a clear passion for nature & colour, Williams creates landscapes & vistas of unrivalled beauty with a unique aesthetic. ‘ Pimavera Owl’ takes Botticelli’s famous ‘ La Primavera’ & overlays beasts, butterflies & botany in Williams’ characteristic, collage style. It is hard to see where Botticelli ends & Williams’ begins
- has she added a tiny gold locket onto one of the central figures?
- in this veritable hide-&-seek of contemporary art. Bold & playful, ‘ Primavera Art’ goes beyond novelty in this reworking of the classic, to create a print full of rich intensities of its own. This print is signed & numbered by the artist.
