Elm Cetacean

Creator: Julian Meredith
Offered by: Yew Tree House

Description
A limited edition woodblock print of a pilot whale on a solid background entitled "Elm Cetacean". Artist Julian Meredith created this print using a giant plank of elm, handmade rice paper and a wax resist technique with handmade ink to make the image. Meredith is a member of the Royal Academy and his work is held in the permanent collections of two British museums. He is noted for his beautiful depictions of whales and fish. His work includes huge artworks of whales and fish, including 600 foot sand drawings on beaches, chalk scrapings on limestone hills and rock arrangements in fields designed to be viewed from the air.

Dimensions of stretcher shown. Print measures 126 inches x 38 inches.

Meredith's daughter wrote the following words:
My father lives in a world where wood becomes water
which flows into fish which fall eaten to the bone
crushed by stone into lime that lives as a whale
formed in a field in a sea full of grass
where water once ran.

Yew Tree House Antiques was launched in 1991, fueled by a passion for collecting the unexpected. Kevin Kleinbardt and Ahna Petersen, with independent backgrounds in furniture and art history respectively, joined forces to focus on pieces with a “soulfulness of character,” as Ahna likes to say.
