T is for Tiger By Clare Halifax

Clare Halifax is an artist who understands the beauty of print making. Using highly skilled processes, with an impressive talent for illustration, Halifax creates prints of rich and meticulous detail, with design, pattern and colour playing crucial roles in the overall style. Halifax has produced a series of a z animal prints, using textiles to create a picture book aesthetic. With an impressive eye for colour and composition, the animal series merges art and design, incorporating typography, texture and graphics to stunning effect. ’T is for Tiger’ depicts a majestic tiger, rendered delicately in strokes of orange and black. The background of the print is made up of a foliage pattern, which is at once figurative the setting through which the tiger strolls and abstract a bold piece of graphic design, made up of tiny green strokes. The square print is framed by a triangular stitch pattern with the words ’T is for Tiger’, in black sans serif font, skimming the bottom of the image. Halifax artfully treads the line between children’s book illustration and contemporary graphics, to create a truly stunning aesthetic.
