Chris Pig Linoleum: Texture

Chris Pig has worked with linoleum since the age of fourteen, and has used this medium to represent the world around him.  His pieces shift between personal narrative and pure aesthetic.

The Big Artichoke

105x75cm

Edition of 10

In "The Big Artichoke", Pig's use of thin line creates a delicate texture for his subject.  These lines accent the form of the leaves, stem and the string holding the artichoke.  He also uses thin line to create a soft wood-like background.  For the artichoke's shadow, Pig uses subtle diagonal lines in order to direct focus to the artichoke itself.
