Andy Lovell

Lovell studied at Liverpool School of Art and Design (1983-86) where he specialised in illustration. He has had numerous commissions for newspapers, magazines and books and held several exhibitions of his prints. He works using drawing and painting as the starting point for his prints, mainly lithographs, mono prints, giclee prints and silkscreen prints. He was influential in the creation of 'Big Orange' a well know design company in Shawditch in London. After he left the studio carried on and is still going strong and Lovell became a well know illustrator and print maker.

Here is a few of Lovell's images

Book cover designs 'Poetry 2000'

Lovell's work ranges from book covers and editorials to beautiful landscape limited edition prints. His editorial work uses block colour along with texture, and his communication is usually clear and straight to the point. His use of texture and the way he represents objects and people are what interested me to his work.

I like the perspective on this image, I also like the way he has just used outlines to represent objects. I think the communication in this image is clear and the concept of a maze comes across well.

The was Lovell uses line in this image is what attracted me to this image. His hand drawn lines add alot of interest especially when it is over layed with a colour or repeated and put over itself again.

These are some of his Giclee prints.

WHAT IS A GICLEE PRINT?

Giclee (pronounced “gee-clay”), from the French word meaning to “squirt”or “spurt,” is a highly sophisticated inkjet printing process that was introduced in the late 1980s that enables the artist to produce limited edition prints of the original digital artwork. In the Giclee process, a fine stream of ink - four million + droplets per second - is sprayed onto archival art paper. Because no screens are used, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than lithographs. The prints are created from high-resolution digital images, using archival, light fast ink and heavyweight paper stock resulting in a long-lasting museum quality work of art.
