{"product_id":"fg021","title":"The Parthenon the Ionic Capital and the Blue Cat in Athen","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Parthenon, built in honour of Athena, stands above Athens as one of the most recognisable monuments of ancient Greece. This print combines the Parthenon with an Ionic capital, architectural fragments and cats found around the Acropolis. The composition explores the contrast between classical architecture, weathered ruins and contemporary everyday life. The Ionic capital features characteristic spiral volutes and provides a strong decorative form within the composition. I created the artwork from a series of original ink drawings, combining architectural details and observed elements. The base drawings for the print were made on A3 marker paper using calligraphic brushes, fine-line pens, sponges, sandpaper, ink and charcoal. I then scanned the drawings and assembled them digitally as layers to create the final composition. Colour was added digitally, allowing the different drawings and textures to be combined into a single image. The finished design is printed on fine art paper using archival inks and produced as an individually signed limited edition in A size formats from A4 to A0.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiclée print.
