Limited Edition Print by Michaela Yearwood-Dan
Artspace in partnership with New Contemporaries is pleased to debut Dream a little dream, a striking new limited edition print by British artist Michaela Yearwood-Dan. Yearwood-Dan is known for her richly layered compositions that blend abstraction, gesture, and poetic text, as well as expressive brushwork and sweeping color that draw from her personal experiences and British Caribbean heritage. Proceeds from the sale of this edition benefit New Contemporaries, supporting the next generation of emerging artists.
New Limited Edition
Dream a little dream is based on an original drawing newly created for this commission. The edition of 50 comprises 40 archival pigment prints with silkscreen varnishes and glass flocking, as well as 10 unique impressions hand-finished with acrylic paint, oil pastel, ink, and glitter. A cursive inscription along the edition’s margins—“You are in every single dream”—infuses the composition with a sense of emotional immediacy and intimacy.
"I use language as a bridge between the work and the audience, to invite the viewer into seeing a little more of my inner workings. Sometimes they lead with more political tone, sometimes more romantic and sometimes more jovial. It’s multifaceted in tone and floats between common and cultural vernacular and more traditional formal dialect."
