Mother and Child For Discount

Sold out and Dan Hillier is down to APs

In his 2017 screen print Mother and Child, Dan Hillier transforms the traditional Christian image of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus into his distinctively surrealist style. Renaissance splendour can be seen in Mary’s deep blue dress, studded with tiny gold stars, and in the dazzling panel of hand-applied, 24ct gold leaf. Sprouting from both mother and child’s heads, Hiller adds big, bright bouquets of blossoming flowers. At the back of the image, Hillier has screen printed the Meta Sutta—the Buddha’s words of loving kindness. Combining world faiths in this modern secular way, Hillier captures the beauty of iconic religious art.

This hand-pulled screen print is the Artists Proof, signed by Hiller and marked as AP. Printed onto Somerset tub sized 410gsm paper, and finished with 24ct gold leaf, the print has a beautiful, high quality finish. Each print comes with a smaller print of the Meta Sutta.
