Katie Gordon
At first glance, the highly detailed, meticulously rendered drawings of Perth-based artist Katie Gordon are easily mistaken for photographs. Closer inspection of her original artworks reveals layer upon layer of coloured wax pencil carefully blended together to bring each masterpiece to life in a celebration of beauty and a patient dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The soft waxiness of each flower contrasts against a striking yet delicately textured black background painstakingly hand scribbled with archival pigment ink pens. The process is time-intensive and methodical, the luxurious end result paying clear homage to Katie’s passion for nature and gardening. Each Katie Gordon print sold through The Block Shop is limited edition and high-resolution, printed on quality 310gsm textured cotton rag paper, and will require framing.
