SMALL is beautiful the old saying goes, and a new art collection from a Wokingham firm proves it.
Claude & Leighton’s spring collection includes a new series of prints that it hopes will bring delight, intrigue and joyful colour to the walls of homes and offices.
Created by Jayne Leighton Herd, artist and co-founder of Claude & Leighton, the Little Squares series are mixed media studies of colour, composition, textures and marks.
Each piece is made up of 15 individual miniature paintings, which were all created on the same piece of paper.
“I start each new piece by dividing the paper into 15 squares with lightly drawn pencil marks,” Jayne says.
“Each little square becomes an individual painting with layers of paint strokes and spatters, pastel squiggles, ink drips, collage pieces and more.
“The fun challenge is to make each little painting look beautiful on its own, while making the whole piece work in terms of composition, energy and colour. They are an absolute joy to create.”
The collection includes prints dedicated to spring, autumn and blue delight, and printed on high quality, fade-resistant, pigment inks on premium heavyweight, acid-free, archival papers
