ART (isan)

Artisan Boutique proudly carries limited edition prints from our resident artists. We also carry artwork from those artists who display work on first fridays, when we have a monthly art opening concurrent with Unblurred, Garfield’s gallery crawl.

Here is a selection of some of what we show in the Gallery.

Barnsey Totem Art Prints: Forest Spirits. Barnsey’s work manifests the inner spirit of totemic entities, married with geometric patterns alluding to mystical forms.

The Butterfly Effect lasercut art by Naked Geometry: A collaboration with Dream Horse Arts, this fractal tiling of Pentagons reveals a gap that perfectly fits a butterfly. The butterfly effect is the concept that small causes can have large effects.

Seen and Touched Photography by Doug Doerring: a surrealist image of a visionary who sees through their hands.

Artisan Savior art print: A regal Valkyrie Witch-Queen raises aloft a cup of ambrosia whilst grasping a bouquet of flowers. This is a limited edition print of only 49 exclusive to Artisan, hand printed by Adrienne Rozzi.
