The Other Side of the Pond. Woodcut on paper. 12 x 8″. Small edition. $64 USD. Purchase here!

Relief prints are one of my favorite art forms to practice as well as look at. I was quite focused on photography until my last year of university, where I took the printmaking class and fell in love. Now my heart is torn between ink and light and I don’t think I’ll ever choose.

I felt like I haven’t shown enough relief prints on Shop Art Direct , so I was very excited to come across Thomas Shahan‘s work. His relief prints show incredible control over his cutting tools as well fantastic understand of depth, value, and texture, which can be difficult to reproduce when carving wood. It’s certainly not the same as painting or drawing.

Pond Gathering. 4-color serigraph on paper. 10.5 x 7″. Limited Edition of 20. $55 USD. Purchase here!

Thomas also works in screen printing to add a range of color to his prints.

If you are curious about printmaking processes, Thomas also happens to be a skilled filmmaker, and created a short video on the basics of relief printing.
