Standing in the Rain By Chris Bourke

Contemporary artist Chris Bourke produces beautiful prints from hand made Linocuts. Using clean lines and a predominantly monochrome palette, Bourke archives a certain naive charm, built around stripped back simplicity. His prints are inspired by tattoo art and religious iconography, a pairing that works to exceptional success, centring around graphic patterns, typography and illustrative imagery, to create miniature tableaus and iconic motifs. ‘Standing in the Rain’ depicts a man and his dog, caught in the midst of a rain shower. The print is striking in its simplicity, using only strokes of black to capture the torrential downpour with artistic sensitivity and create a dynamic sense of movement and texture.
