Bronze Azure is a captivating original reduction lino print by Rebecca Reilly, celebrating the chrysanthemum in a rich blue colourway threaded with warm bronze ink. The bronze tones echo the print’s original inspiration, creating a piece that feels both rooted and quietly luminous.
Using a demanding four-colour reduction method — where a single block is progressively cut and re-inked — this work achieves a depth and layering that sets it apart from standard printmaking. No two reduction prints are identical, making this a genuinely one-of-a-kind piece.
