About the edition
Available for pre-order, with delivery from week commencing Mon 16 November.
This limited-edition stone lithograph was created to coincide with France-Lise McGurn’s exhibition, The Charm Offensive, in DCA Galleries. The exhibition marks the artist’s most significant presentation in a UK institution to date, featuring paintings which spill from the canvas over the walls and floor alongside images and objects from McGurn’s studio.
Featuring a series of figures, this vibrant print gives the impression of movement. The faces mirror those seen in McGurn’s exhibition, which are found painted on photographs, canvases, furniture and the gallery walls. McGurn describes these figures as “part self-portrait, part observation, part memory”.
Created in DCA Print Studio using the traditional process of stone lithography, McGurn drew and painted directly onto the smoothed surface of a slab of limestone. With her gestures and marks captured on the stone’s surface, the finished image was printed in a luminous orange ink, reflecting the fluorescent lines and bold orange canvases found in The Charm Offensive.
