Letterpress Wall Art

A bold acrylic rendering of an antique letterpress, its cast-iron frame and upright chase built from crisp hard-edged shapes in saturated vermilion, cobalt blue and cadmium yellow. Below, a compartment tray of movable type forms sharp geometric rows of little wooden blocks. Strong directional light from the left throws deep flat shadows across a plain workbench, and the composition runs clean to every edge of the canvas.
