Kokomo Blouse Santorini Blue

Art by Carolyn Gavin

My work taps into a desire to create a reimagined traditional landscape. I use contrast in a nontraditional way with colour, texture, and brushstroke. I eschew straight, rigid lines for pigmented, melting biotic environments. Winter becomes an endless summer, moving fluidly, trying to capture a moment in nature and making it into something else. My landscapes are heavily inspired by my travels. I use neon paint to depict a field or highlight a focal point. How else would you do justice to the saturated hues of a landscape when the sunlight hits midday? Stripes portray vegetation, while geometric shapes represent mountains and trees, creating a psychedelic and dream like world.

Lolita Lorenzo is the design brainchild of Carol Muthiga. A Kenyan-American artist and designer, Muthiga is inspired by rich color palates, vibrant patterns found in the textile markets of her birth country, numerology, naturally occurring geometry, and modern fashion houses like Chanel and Vogue. Named for her daughters, Lolita Lorenzo collages often depict versions of an “intergalactic Afrofuturistic time-traveling woman warrior.” Modern-day heroines and Black cultural icons are also predominantly featured in her works.

This radically empowering image combines a cornucopia of textiles to create a fully immersive ambiance. At puzzle size, the original moiré of the printed matter incorporated in her collage is visible.

These luxury puzzles are crafted with attention to every detail using high-quality 250-GSM matte art paper for superior colour, crisp details, and no glare. Ribbon-cut thick board for snug fit and minimal dust produced using thick recycled paper board.
