Cycling is possibly one of the greatest ways to travel in the world. It's healthy, environmentally friendly and can even tick the box for social distancing... This is a drypoint, a form of etching where the image is created by scratching directly onto the plate. Since no acid is needed, the metal isn't dissolved as on an etched plate, but is thrown up on each side of the line, creating a thicker, soft line. This wears down with each successive print, hence the small edition of 9 prints. The artist has left ink or polished it off in areas to create the tone - this is the painterly mono printing part of the process. Each handcrafted print is unique and variable and numbered E.V (Edition Variable) Printed on Somerset Satin paper 300 gsm

Rebecca Denton, painter and printmaker, has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art in their art gallery and online. With over two decades of creating, Rebecca Denton works from her sketches and imagination to create original prints in her North London studio. Her aquatints are often whimsical, featuring imagined characters in imaginary landscapes and her narrative etchings are playful, sometimes with a serious context but always hopeful and life-affirming. I love it when people connect with the work; perhaps it triggers a childhood memory or allows them to dream of a better world or just dream... Rebecca also creates unique one-off prints; moments of beauty where the soul of the place can be felt.
