Why It Matters
The combination of an archival pigment base with a 7-colour screen-print overlay is a technically distinctive approach, uniting the tonal depth of a giclée with the crisp, layered ink of screen printing. The near-square 76 x 74 cm format and the intimate "Whisper of Lovers" theme give it a quiet, romantic register.
Collector Perspective
Hybrid pigment-and-screen prints offer a best-of-both-worlds appeal that collectors appreciate for their production complexity. The heavy 410gsm Somerset stock is a premium substrate, and the edition of 195, while larger, is offset by the multi-process construction. The romantic theme broadens its appeal for display in intimate settings.
Historical Context
Chevrier's willingness to blend print methods in a single edition reflects the experimental streak running through the Cages series. By layering screen-printed colour over a pigment print, she achieves surface effects neither technique delivers alone, a hybrid approach that distinguishes select works within her 2023 output.
