About the Item
Chittering and Chattering, Linoleum Block Print, Ed. 10, 35 1/4 x 23 1/4 Inches is one of a series of 8 large (this size, various shades of blue) and 6 small (11 5/8 Inches x 11 5/8 Inches, various shades of blue ) linoleum block prints by Lisa Houck, a very established artist from Boston with a large following devoted to her exceptional paintings, watercolors, mosaics and prints reminiscent of Matisse and Aborigine art, with gorgeous color and a sensibility both playful and quite serious that is uniquely her own.
This print is not framed.
This print is currently on view in our 'BLUE' exhibition in conjunction with the 5 additional large format prints in this series and the 6 small format related prints which consist of the 6 individual "squares" printed in various shades of blue that comprise the large
Chittering and Chattering print discussed above.
Houck has also executed many large public art commissions for interior and exterior sites in Boston and nationwide which are ambitious murals in oil and mosaic in hospitals, libraries, playgrounds and other public buildings.

Rob Barnes Riverside Oystercatchers Limited Edition Linocut Print Edition of 50 Image Size H 44cm x W 33cm Sheet Size H 49cm x W 61cm Sold Unframed mounted in Antique White mountboard Free Shipping Please note that in situ images are purely an indication of how a piece may look. Riverside Oystercatchers by Rob Barnes is a limited edition linocut print using a Key Block and a Reduction Block resulting in several layers of printing. This landscape was inspired by a riverside walking area in Suffolk where there are often numerous Oystercatchers. Rob was trying to achieve a strong sunset image with Oystercatcher movement highlighted across the river. He is inspired by the East Anglian coast and landscape, much of which appears in his linocut prints. Many of these show Rob’s keen interest in the use of colour blends, light on water, and graduations of tone. Rob Barnes studied painting and printmaking at Hull College of Art and London University in the early 1960s. He taught etching, screen-printing, linocut and related surface printmaking at Keswick Hall College in Norfolk. He later moved to the University of East Anglia where he continued teaching in the School of Education until 2006. He is based in South Norfolk. He has exhibited regularly in London and many of his etchings and linocuts are in private collections, here and abroad. More recently he has returned to linocuts, enjoying the strong physical nature of this medium. His linocuts are inspired mainly by the landscape of East Anglia. Effects of light and colour, weather and atmosphere contribute to the final linocut. Recent work has been inspired by observing the changing fields and wildlife through the seasons. Coastal prints...
