LY | LUV Somewhere New

LY | LUV Somewhere New Medium: 21 colour silkscreen printed in 42 layers on 410gsm Somerset Radiant White paper. Year: 2023 Edition of 30 Size: 23.62in (W) × 29.53in (H) Soft pink silkscreen prints signal new possibilities in the world of LUV. Earlier this year at her Living with LUV show in London, LY debuted a single artwork unlike anything she had painted before. In a room full of greyscale, warm pink hues brought new life to her amorphous wandering muse. The change was inspired in part by the artist’s daughter, and the colourful perspective she has introduced to family life in Tokyo. “Since becoming a mother, everyday is a surprise and a new discovery.” Printmakers identified and replicated each carefully-chosen shade to create a 21 colour silkscreen, printed in 42 layers at Make-Ready in London.
