Why It Matters
The 21-colour build and generous 100 x 71 cm sheet make this a technically substantial screen print, while the deckle edge signals fine-art paper handling. The "two souls" title points to duality — a recurring undercurrent in Chevrier's fusion of the female portrait with masculine superhero imagery.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 300 this is one of the more widely distributed Chevrier screen prints, keeping it relatively attainable. The deckle edge and 21-colour process are quality markers to preserve; framing should protect the untrimmed edge. The artists' signatures are the authentication anchor here.
Historical Context
Released in 2016, this large-format silkscreen reflects Chevrier's move toward complex multi-colour screen printing on premium Somerset stock. The larger edition of 300 broadened access to her cage imagery, while the deckle-edge presentation aligned the print with traditional fine-art printmaking conventions.
