Smeaton’s Pier St Ives is a screen print which is a form of printmaking. Screen printing uses a screen made from fabric stretched tightly over a frame. Using a stencil to block out the non-printing areas. Using a squeegee to force ink through the open fabric. Originally this method used silk as the fabric/mesh, therefore it is also know as silkscreen printing.
Smeaton’s Pier forms the western wall of St Ives harbour. It frames a view, as depicted in this limited edition screen print, looking towards the sweeping Cornish coastline of Carbis Bay and out into the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean beyond. This piece is a limited edition in a run of 50 prints. The number and signature at the bottom of each image providing a unique identifier for each individual piece within the limited print run.
Gareth Ellis lives and works in Cornwall with his prints depicting his favourite subjects; Cornwall and the sea. Gareth enjoys the challenge of simplifying Cornish landscapes and coastal scenes into basic forms and depicting light and shade with minimal print layers. Gareth primarily works from pencil sketches which he uses in his screen prints and digital prints.
