QUEERCIRCLE: Kudzanai-Violet Hwami Limited Edition

THE PRIZE

We are delighted to have launched our limited edition series with Kudzanai-Violet Hwami, in collaboration with Avant Arte. One lucky person has the chance to win an artist proof of Kudzi (valued at over £3,500).

Kudzi started as a digital collage of the artist’s cousin. Printed, painted on and then faithfully recreated in 17 silkscreen layers. Glossy swathes of colour obscure a halftone-modulated, monochromatic underprint. These innovative techniques – born of close collaboration with artisan printmakers in London – echo the rich, multimedia surfaces of Hwami’s original paintings.
