Ragged Red – Ltd Ed fine art print by Esther Beaton
$325.00
Red eucalypt leaf, chewed by insects and dying. Central Coast, New South Wales
Description
Supposedly eucalypts trees are evergreens – meaning they retain their leaves all year round. It may seem that way, but they actually lose their leaves one by one – a few here, more there. As it is time for a leaf to die, it stops pulling nourishment through the stem and stops producing chlorophyll. It starts to dry out, resulting in the rich autumn shades of orange, red and – very red! I love the simplicity of this picture. It’s been a popular one, achieving a prize too, probably because it is so iconic. Unmistakably Australian, it shows survival. Through a 100 insect attacks it hangs on – until it gently just lets go.
Both the soft shapes and blue-green tones of the background make a perfect foil for the sharp redness and crisp outline of the leaf.

They are printed for us by a Canson Certified Master Printer lab in Australia. Our choice for the paper is Canson’s Arches Aquarelle. It has been manufactured consistently for over 500 years and favoured by the best watercolorists from Picasso to Warhol. This heavy 310 gsm paper is still made in France to this day of 100% cotton rag in the traditional, mould-made process, giving it superb purity and permanence. Some of our prints are available on canvas which is a genuine Giclée Professional Edition 400 gsm canvas with excellent water resistance and stretching qualities for gallery-wrap mounting. The ink technology used in our prints is equally stable and long-lasting. Our printers use Epson Ultrachrome pigment, which has been independently tested to give the highest archival standard today. This combination of paper + pigment results in a beautiful texture and deeply saturated colours. Used together, they have been independently tested to last over 100 years. The canvas we use has also been tested to last over 80 years. |
