Echelon is a limited edition linocut print by Lisa Takahashi. Echelon is the next in a series of prints that describes the power and collective energy of a group of drafting cyclists – I see it as the cousin of my previous print ‘The Chain Gang’. The designing process was very important for this print – the image is held together by the strong verticals of the arms and legs of the cyclists, and how the colours were laid was carefully considered so that there was a feeling of wheels and pedals rotating at speed. Although the Echelon are working together there is a real sense of each individual cyclist, which was important for me to portray. Lisa Takahashi. Full Moon Limited Edition Linocut Print Edition of 100 Image size is H: 61cm x W: 61cm Paper size is H: 70cm x W: 70cm x D 0.2cm Sold Unframed When there’s a full moon things can go a little crazy, and that includes cycling! With Full Moon I wanted to use just 2 colours (I usually use 3) and see if I could still create a colourful and exciting image. I wanted to also see how far I could abstract the design yet still maintain a sense of speed and movement. To me it doesn’t really matter what the subject matter for Full Moon is, it’s about a strong design made out of a series of curves stripes and triangles. However it just so happens to have initially been based on a photograph of 4 cyclists cycling around a corner. Size: H:70 cm x W:70 cm
