A beautiful quote written by the great poet Oscar Wilde, hand sketched by Steve Simpson and then lovingly screen-printed by hand on heavy 300gsm off-white paper with separate layers of red and turquoise ink to create a deep midnight blue mix.

Each print is screenprinted onto 700 x 500 mm cuts of paper, signed by Steve and limited to just 161 pressings to mark the anniversary of Wilde's birthday (October 16, 1854).

Not happy to rest there we used a cheeky glow-in-the-dark ink for a second hidden layer, giving a whole new image when the lights go out at night.
 

All prints are €90, signed and numbered by the artist and carefully rolled and packaged in a sturdy postal-friendly tube.
 

This print was made as part of our 2019 celebration of the 100th Liffey Swim. We collaborated with some of our favourite illustrators to mark the iconic event.

About the Piece
It's not entirely clear what my heron has just fished out of the Liffey. Is it a fish or is it a rat? I walk the quays every day on my way into work and I can't believe people are actually going to take their clothes off and jump into that river! I'll be down there cheering them on. Delighted to be contributing a piece of artwork to the 100th anniversary of what is such a quintessential Dublin thing.

4 layer hand-pulled screen print
500 x 500mm / on 285gsm Context Birch paper, edition of 100, signed and numbered by the artist.

About the Piece
"I wanted to convey the excitement and spectacle of the mass of swimmers progressing through the Liffey waters. An orange summer's sun is reflected and refracted by the water.
The style of the repeat pattern is inspired by Art Deco pochoir printed patterns designed by Maurice Verneuil in the 1920s. His work represents a popular manifestation of De Stijl and Russian Suprematist design ideas which were exciting the European avant garde when the first Liffey Swim took place in Dublin in 1920.”

About the Piece
”This piece was inspired by the the spirit of an article by an anonymous writer titled ‘Story of the Liffey Swim - (By One of the Competitors)’ printed in the Evening Telegraph in 24 July 1920, just days after the inaugural Liffey Swim.

"Research is also at the heart of a lot of my work. I really enjoy discovering historical accounts, especially for the authenticity of detail in the observations, the antiquated turn of phrase and the feel of a bygone era. This article dealt with everything from the fear of not finishing the race, to the multitude who came to view it ‘on foot and on all kinds of vehicles’, right down to the analysis of the Liffey water, to see if it was fit enough for swimming in!

"I like to weave both type and image together in my work. I collect and sample old letterpress fonts, particularly those that have managed to escape digitisation. I was also keen on making sure that details like the tram advertisements were of the time and that the swim suits of the era were accurate.

"The writer of this article himself wasn’t too far off the mark when he predicted that ‘... the Liffey swims of the future will be looked forward to with intense interest by the people of Dublin.’ “

'Infinite Loop' by Robyn Carey

5 colour hand-pulled screen print.
420 x 594mm / on 300gsm Munken Pure rough paper. Edition of 25, signed and numbered by the artist. Embossed with Damn Fine Print seal.

About the Piece

The cyclical nature of time, rather than linear is explored with various layers hinting at movement.

Through this exclusive collection, Robyn explores perception and interpretation of time, and the various emotions we attach to time passing. A variety of techniques are used by Robyn to create her prints, a mixture of mono-printing, painting, drawing and collage composed in an analogue fashion with cutting and taping. New layers are added in response to the previous layer, giving each an innate relationship.

About the Artist
Robyn Care is a visual artist from Dublin. Her practice crosses between printmaking and painting, often bridging the gap between the two processes. Process-driven abstraction forms the basis of her work, with experimental mark making with ink and paint providing her distinct aesthetic.

About the Piece

This piece was created as part of the Damn Fine Print showcase 'Electric Dreams'.

About the Artist

Robyn Carey is a printmaker, painter, and curator from Dublin.  She creates primarily abstract expressionist silk screen prints and acrylic paintings. Her work at its core is an exploration of relationships, both physical, mental, and theoretical. She explores this through expressive, gestural mark-making coupled with abstracted structures.  Robyn's work often reflects her interpretations of a scientific, philosophical, or historical theory. Aesthetically she is drawn to both ancient Irish neolithic imagery and textures, contrasted by clean lines of modernism. Her work aims to grab the viewer's attention with its strong imagery and compositions.  It then asks them to delve a little deeper upon a closer look, to unearth a narrative being depicted through abstraction and symbolism. Her practice is based in Pallas Projects Studios, Dublin 8.

About the Piece
"Coming from a family of swimmers, I wanted this piece to reflect an up-close perspective of the experience of the Liffey Swim. I asked family members who have completed the swim on a number of occasions about their experiences on the river, and wanted to capture the perspective of the swimmer, immersed in green, passing under Dublin's iconic bridges, all kicking and pulling to become the one to win Dublin's most iconic swimming race.

I tried to rely on the aesthetic qualities and unique process of screen printing for this piece, choosing a green backdrop for vivid white ink and bold blocks of colour to stand out and show the swimmers emerging from the murky Liffey waters."

About the Artist
Conor is an illustrator and print addict, whose tactile work celebrates the aesthetic qualities of screen printing and risograph.
