About Sarah Muirhead<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edinburgh-based Muirhead, a graduate of Edinburgh School of Art, is known for her dramatic figurative works.<\/p>\n

She is an exciting talent who has exhibited in New York, Edinburgh, and London. Her work is included in many private collections, and public buildings such as Oxford University and The Leith Theatre.<\/p>\n

BBC’s Kirsty Wark describes Muirhead as a rising star, “the wonderful humanity of her work is incredibly mature. She is a figurative artist who concentrates on every line and crease and blemish and displays an empathy with her subject.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Natalia Juruk Deputy Editor of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine says: “Her ability to capture the human form in sublime and unconventional ways is heightened further with her characters living just outside the mainstream world, creating a spectacle of dancers, tattoos and other forms\u201d.<\/p>\n

From the artist herself<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cArt provides an environment to explore all things taboo. It\u2019s as if the materials used to describe flesh and blood translate the subject matter into something academic, and therefore acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve always loved the juxtaposition of wandering through immaculate, quiet gallery spaces and churches with sex and horror all over their walls. This idea is a thread through most of my work. I want to identify it in my work and own it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a professional voyeur, but then, so are all artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Limited edition prints are genuinely collectable<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These Giclee Prints are completely different from the poor quality prints you\u2019ll find on any High Street. They\u2019re a wonderful opportunity to start collecting art and supporting the work of independent, living artists.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the experts say:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Katherine Oliver, Ad Sales Programme Curator at The Royal Academy<\/p>\n

“everyone can enjoy and buy art in an affordable way\u2026 the key is to choose something you love and buy with confidence.\u201d She continued, “it’s better to settle on a good example of this type of work from an
\nexciting emerging artist than to skimp and save to buy something second rate from someone better known.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is great satisfaction in supporting the next generation of artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christies<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Christies say “a print is more than just a copy of the original. Fine art prints are something else, they form a close collaboration between the artist studio. Printers, the people who work with artists to produce an edition, are highly skilled technicians and are often artists in their own right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda Sims of The Architectural Digest<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to art [1], the word “print” can mean a lot of things. First, there’s the real deal: lithographs, woodcuts, screenprints, and the like \u2026So each one of their “prints” is considered an original work of art.<\/p>\n

If you can afford this kind of print, they’re amazing pieces to display and collect and you’ll be supporting storied artforms in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
