A1 Print - Lifting the Lid on the Fringe Ed. 1 of 100

A1 (59.4x84cm) 'Lifting the Lid on the Fringe' Limited Edition (100) Giclee Print by Sue Dowse on Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag 310gsm Archival Paper and Inks - Unframed.

(Also available in other sizes, see below).

I use recycled magazines, type, maps, photos, patterns and more to create one-of-a-kind collages. By ripping and cutting up these items I am able to construct unique works of art that appear semi-realistic from a distance, yet abstract up close. I love people to lose themselves in my artwork, scanning the fine detail to discover the text and images that intertwine to make these unique 'paintings'.

If you are a lover of the Adelaide Fringe and would like a totally unique, really cool piece of art to display in your home, then look no further.

My artwork, which has been CREATED ENTIRELY OUT OF OLD FRINGE PROGRAMS is a metaphor for what ‘Arts Unlimited’ means to me. The Ringmaster bursting out of the Adelaide Fringe Soup Can holding tickets and a microphone to announce that the Fringe has arrived. The can is jam packing with symbols and icons all bursting free and which are a representation of these many artistic events and culinary delights available at the Fringe. This piece was also a finalist in the Fringe Poster Competition this year.

A giclee print is an extremely high quality print using archival paper and inks and is the closest duplication of an artwork that is physically possible. Unframed and delivered rolled up in an art tube. Signed and numbered on the front.

Sue Dowse is an Adelaide based artist who works mainly in collage art. Sue graduated from Advertising and Graphic Design, SA School of Art in 1984. She stills works as a graphic designer but in 2019 found an alternative creative passion in collage art, or as she calls it “painting with paper”.

Specifically, Sue uses recycled magazines, type, maps, photos, patterns and more to create one-of-a-kind collages. By ripping and cutting up these items she is able to construct unique works of art that appear semi-realistic from a distance, yet abstract up close. She loves people to lose themselves in the artwork, scanning the fine detail to discover the text and images that intertwine to make these unique "paintings".

Sue is excited to produce an environmentally respectful art form which allows her to give new purpose to discarded magazines, graphics and paper. Her work entices people to look closer. Sue's method is always evolving as she deconstructs an image into shades and shapes that can be depicted on the canvas with paper, and through experimentation overcomes the hurdles to bring a truly individual piece. She hopes you enjoy her work and looks forward to developing her style further in the years to come.
