Original printmaking brings together artistry, technique and the beautifully unpredictable character of work made by hand. Unlike a reproduction of an existing artwork, an original print is created through the printmaking process itself, with the artist working directly onto a plate, screen or other surface before transferring the image onto paper.
Explore handmade prints by contemporary South African artists working across etching, monotype, screenprinting and other traditional printmaking techniques. Each impression carries the subtle textures and variations that reveal how it was made.
The collection includes Andie Rodwell’s finely observed studies of insects and endangered wildlife; Kristen McClarty’s atmospheric monotypes inspired by movement and the natural world; Laurel Holmes’s expressive, layered works; Karen Wykerd’s contemplative explorations of landscape and place; and Kitty Dörje’s distinctive screenprints celebrating Cape Town, Table Mountain and the Western Cape.
Some works form part of small, signed and numbered editions, while monotypes are unique impressions that cannot be repeated. Whether you are beginning a collection, choosing art for a considered interior or searching for a meaningful gift, handmade prints offer an accessible way to live with original South African art.
Each available artwork includes details of its technique, dimensions and edition. Delivery is available throughout South Africa and worldwide.
