Mikey Welsh "Flowers"

Top Text: 

In November, Iskra was asked to create a screen printed reproduction of a painting by the late Mikey Welsh, a longtime collaborator and dear friend of the studio, for a memorial art show at The JDK Gallery / Maglianero in Burlington, VT. We happily obliged, of course. The original "Flowers" is a massive and colorful two-section piece painted on the back of two old wooden doors, with a signature "Mikey" color palette and flowing, dripping lines. Using the original as inspiration, we successfully created our first seven-color print, the most colors we've ever pulled on one print. We hope you enjoy this print as much as we did making it.
