Why It Matters
Hand embellishment turns each of these 15 prints into a one-of-one work, blurring the line between edition and original. The phosphorescent theme suggests luminous, glowing surface effects, and the added mixed-media layer means no two examples are identical, giving each a distinct character within a very small run.
Collector Perspective
A 1/1 hand-embellished piece from an edition of just 15 is among the most exclusive tiers Chevrier offers, combining print reproducibility with unique-object status. Collectors prize hand-finished works for their singularity and the artist's direct physical intervention.
Historical Context
Hand-embellished editions represent the top of Chevrier's production hierarchy, above standard giclées and screen prints. By working over the printed surface with mixed media, she reintroduces the gestural, painterly quality of her originals into a limited print context, a practice that appeals to collectors seeking something closer to a unique painting.
