Contemplative Chair (Limited Edition)
By Lourenço Providência
Lourenço Providência’s first collection for Paper Collective explores colour as subject, through four silkscreen art prints that embrace humor and imperfection. Heavily inspired by travels through Mexico and architect Luis Barragán’s use of flat colour to frame everyday vistas, Contemplative Chair mirrors object and subject, illuminating how each is completed by the other.
Contemplative Chair is a hand-pulled silkscreen artwork on 250 gsm Fabriano Unica 50% cotton stock, signed and numbered by the artist in a limited edition of 50 pieces + three artists proofs.
