As Far As I Can See By Jayson Lilley

Product Description

Contemporary artist Jayson Lilley works at the forefront of printmaking practices, incorporating painting & collage techniques into his process. His work is known for its urban & architectural focus reproducing iconic structures from the metropolis. His love of modernist, Art Deco & Brutalist architectural design is infectious, bleeding into his own work which is often stark & minimal, with strong impact: stripped back palettes
- often concrete shades of grey
- complement bold compositional techniques. ‘ As Far As I Can See’ depicts the rooftops of New York City, looking south from central Manhattan. The iconic Empire State Building takes centre stage, surrounded by some the twentieth centuries finest skyscrapers from the Chrysler Building to the Met Life. The familiar skyline crouches at the bottom of the print, in inky black & white, with sections picked out in soft blues & reds, while the large expanse of sky has been finished with a sheet of gold leaf, for iridescent texture & tonality: a beautiful touch to this glorious celebration of the city.
