Tiger
Tiger
This is my daughter's favourite print in the entire BAXCO catalogue and what she especially loves is the playfulness of this 19th-century Chinese illustration. The enormous paws, exaggerated stripes, curling tail and slightly wild expression create an animal that feels less ferocious but more endearing than a carefully drawn facsimile.
This print has a lot of energy and personality and the original artist clearly wasn't interested in giving us a clinical study of a tiger. This is an interpretation full of movement and character, and that is precisely what makes it so compelling.
For BAXCO, I restored the original artwork and experimented with three new backgrounds inspired by colours found throughout historic Chinese art and design. I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so decided to offer all three: Chinese Blue, Jade (my daughter opted for this one), and Yellow Ochre.
Print supplied unframed.
PRINT & PAPER
Every BaxCo print is produced on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® 308gsm, a heavyweight, 100% cotton fine-art paper with a beautifully soft, lightly textured matt surface. Acid- and lignin-free and compliant with the ISO 9706 standard for age resistance, it is specifically designed for museum-quality fine-art reproduction.
We print using archival pigment inks for exceptional colour, tonal depth and detail. Together, the paper and pigment inks create a print designed to resist fading and retain its character for generations when properly cared for.
