Why collectors love it
The yellow colourway of Baldwin's Warhol-inspired flower suite: bold abstraction layered with figurative illustration, reimagining Warhol's iconic 1960s flower paintings in Baldwin's own edgy style, complete with his recurring motifs of swallows, barbed wire and a skeletal hand. These are Baldwin's first handmade silkscreen editions, drawn directly onto True Grain drafting film and created entirely by the artist's hand as first edition images in three colourways. Part of the 'Utopia, Delirium and Infatuation' set of nine, it is available individually or as part of the full suite.

About the artist
Dan Baldwin's work is at once abstract and figurative, reflecting both reality and the world of imagination. His subject matter is the interior of his own mind, from ruminations on love and memory to opinions on politics and current affairs. His recurring motifs, skeletons, swallows, crucifixes and cartoon figures, are often contradictory, creating an uncomfortable, sometimes sinister paradox. Symbolism is key to Baldwin's oeuvre, and these symbols of death, life and love reflect his preoccupation with the 'big questions' of human existence. Born in Manchester, Baldwin studied at Eastbourne College of Art and lives and works in West Sussex.
