{"product_id":"26ao192","title":"Merry Go Round","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA woodcut print of a collage I made depicting a merry go round. It is a personal, visual response to the state of the world, and a little nod to the Mark Gertler painting of the same name. That's me in the middle, in a state of delirium and nausea, deperate to get off. The jolly colours belie a more uncomfortable subject matter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoodcut print on Fabriano Rosaspina paper with oil based ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 65 x 81 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout the artist:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLisa Takahashi is a Somerset-based, British-Japanese printmaker. She produces linocut, woodcut and card relief prints that reinterpret everyday scenes - cyclists, architecture and flowers - through expressive, overlapping forms and transparent colour. Lisa’s designs are developed using collage and experimental drawing, emphasising atmosphere and movement. She balances the planning of colour and composition with a responsive, exploratory approach to inking and printing. Following her studies at Bath Spa University College and Middlesex University in Fine Art, Lisa has had a successful career as an artist. She has made original prints for nearly fifteen years, and currently works in her studio on the Somerset Levels, using a 100-year-old cast-iron Albion press. In 2018 she reached the semi-finals of Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year. Lisa’s work has previously exhibited at the International Original Print Exhibition and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Takahashi","offers":[{"title":"Framed Print","offer_id":55614278435192,"sku":"26AO192","price":440.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print","offer_id":55614278467960,"sku":"26AO192","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/8014\/6476\/files\/LisaTakahashi-merrygoround.jpg?v=1784738817","url":"https:\/\/atelierbrighton.co.uk\/products\/26ao192","provider":"Atelier Beside the Sea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
